    Well, I'd almost agree with that...except I've never seen a Talkin' Loud or
    Ubiquity contract.

    I can tell you I worked with Dave Pike, who has released for Ubiquity... and
    he was broker than a mo fo.... I can tell you that Ubiquity is one of the
    few labels that puts out sample CD's (i.e., solo drum breaks and what not)
    and still makes you negotiate with royalties for them... most of the
    companies that do that set them out as license free.

    But aside from that, if they conform to the standard practice... i.e, paying
    musicians 8-12 cents on the dollar, then at best, they're dolphins with
    really really sharp teeth.
