Can I link directly to my Mperia songs from my homepage so people can buy them directly from me?

Nope. We're not set up that way, for lots of reasons. You can link to each song's page, if you like.

How do I get to be a Featured Artist?

What you do is, go down to the nearest train station at midnight with a bottle of Rebel Yell and an autographed picture of Jack Benny...no, I'm just kidding.

We feature artists if they catch our attention or sell a ridiculous amount of music. Do one of those things (or send us lots of money in small, non-sequential Tuvalan currency) and we'll put you up there.

I did this totally hot mashup of Ethel Merman and Ol' Dirty Bastard. Can I upload it?

Nope. See, there's this thing called the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and if you uploaded musical material you don't own, the Man is gonna come down on you...and us. And nobody wants that.

You also can't upload songs with samples of copyrighted music or cover versions of songs unless you've obtained a mechanical license(s) for the songs you're using. Sorry about that.

Can I put my songs under a Creative Commons license?

If you own them, sure — we love the Creative Commons (and they throw great parties). We're working on putting together a system which lets you automatically put your songs under a number of licenses, including the Creative Commons. Until then, you might want to note that the song is CC licensed in its comments.

Do you offer this DRM thing I've been hearing about?

Nope. And we don't plan to anytime soon. Read this article to find out more.

How often do I get paid?

Once a month. You can get paid before that, but you'll have to pay a handling fee.

Are you gonna, like, get me gigs and stuff?

Nope. We aren't a management company. What we will do is give bookers the chance to contact you directly to book gigs. We also give you a place to advertise your upcoming gigs to your fans. 'Cause we really want you to get on the road and out of Mommy and Daddy's basement.
