Just to follow up on this again.
I actually got an email from Raw42 today.

Moonlight in Vienna track acceptance

A&R has now assessed your track and it has been recommended for acceptance into the Raw42 promotional programs. If you want to take advantage of these programs, you need to do the following:

1) Log on to the Artist Lounge at www.raw42.com/artists2004
2) Select the "OPTIONS" link for this track and run through the process
3) Check the track info is correct and your contact info also (very important!)

Raw42 will represent your track on a non-exclusive basis (unless you are signed to us for publishing) and it will become an integral part of our licensing searches for TV, film and advertising briefs that we actively seek. We have received over 150 of these in the past 12 months but it is a very competitive area. It can take days, months, sometimes years to get a deal, but the bottom line is your track is "in the pot" and its non-exclusive so you can still promote it elsewhere.

We strongly recommend you spend some time on our Forums at http://www.raw42.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi as there is lots of interesting information there. And our FAQs are a must-read if you want to get the most from Raw42. Relationships are everything...thanks for using Raw42.

Kind regards,

My response...


You have got to be kidding. Absolutely not.
Remove all my songs from your site immediately and cancel my account.
I've been writing to your company for over a month and haven't been able to get an answer to one simple question.
I've written every day for over a week to all 3 of the addresses listed on your site and still couldn't get a response.
All I've ever gotten from your company has been rude and obnoxious comments from whoever does your A&R. Including a beligerent remark about submitting the same song twice.
There is absolutely no way that you are going to ever have access to my music and I am giving you legal notice to remove all my songs and subscription from your site immediately.
If this isn't done within 48 hours I will be contacting my lawyer.

Just an additional note, I signed on using a different computer under a different name and tried to contact somebody about buying the licensing to a 'major motion picture I'm working on'. It's been 4 days and still no response.
There's something seriously wrong with a company that doesn't answer it's emails.
If anybody has any dealings with this company I would seriously recommend backing out cause I smell a scam.
