| | Record label - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Most major record labels are owned by a few large multinational companies (Big Four record labels) that make up the almost all of the global recording industry, although there is a recent resurgence in independent record labels. | | | On the punk rock scene, the DIY punk ethic encourages bands to self-publish and self-distribute. | | | The name derives from the paper label at the center of a gramophone record (what is also known as a "phonograph record" in American English). |

| | FMC Major Label Contract Critique |
| | She records 15 songs written by the record label’s “affiliated publisher” who charges the full statutory rate of $.075 per song, or $1.13 for the album. | | | Label one gets to take royalties from album 2 to recover monies advanced to you under album one. | | | Under the compulsory license provisions of Copyright Act, record labels are required to pay mechanical royalties on all records “made and distributed.” Instead, record labels thwart this law by refusing to pay for so-called “free goods.” This confusing word “free-goods” is not defined as promo albums. |

| | The Business of Music Site - How Major Labels and Indie Labels Work Together |
| | Major Labels and Independent Labels have a legacy of exposing and discovering all the great music of the last century, but the role these two types of record labels have played over the decades has changed as much as the music itself has changed. | | | Defining the roles these different kind of record labels have in today’s marketplace; as well as understanding the reliance they have on each other is important for anyone who wishes to start their own label, or develop an existing label. | | | Any act signing to a Major Label these days must impress the label with significant CD sales on their initial release, or they run the risk of being dropped by the label. |

| | Cosmik Debris Magazine Presents: Major Label Microscope part 3, June 2002 |
| | Such artists have discovered that by selling a considerably smaller number of albums on an independent record label or through independent distribution, they can get their music to their fans and, at the same time, make a lot more money than when they sold a million albums under the major label formula. | | | A business-savvy artist can control the release of his or her own record albums (by signing with an independent record company or releasing records through a distribution company), sell its albums cheaper, and ultimately undercut the competition. | | | In this respect, artists who form their own record labels can assign themselves a "royalty" (i.e., a percentage of the profits) from the sale of records as well as build capital in their record company by leaving a percentage of the profits in their record company account. |

| | Of the 99 cents of a download, Apple keeps a portion and the rest goes back to the label, which is then responsible for distributing back to the artists, songwriters, publishers, and so on according to the existing terms between the labels and their bands. | | | So, in theory, musicians signed to major labels should be getting 100 percent of their 10 to 14 percent royalty rate since all of those antiquated deductions are totally illogical. | | | In addition, the major labels control a vast amount of copyrighted material -- whether it's new releases or back catalog records -- and having a good, broad selection of music in place for iTunes launch was essential to the Store's success. |
