Re: [Harp-L] PFOS song writing contest contract

[Will Vogtman <will_vogtman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I knew full well what I signed away.  At this point in my non-existant musical career, I'm looking for any break I can get.  I'm looking for resume material.  I've got a day job I'm looking to get rid of--I've got to start trying somewhere.
   
  I don't think the PFOS people are trying to pull one over on the pro's.  I think they're trying to give a leg up to an unknown.

To put it bluntly, this is a blatant ripoff.

But later you can get the blues over it.
