I issue your space with a license so that you don't have to pay a fee to
AKM. All my contracts that deal with my rights are non-exclusive, so the
license i issue your space with is valid and would stand in any court of law
(if need be, and i would defend that license always), the license includes a
link to the content that i perform in your space... view the license on the
postcard here...

If AKM issued your space with a fee for the use of the songs i wrote, AKM
would be braking the law. I reserve the right to defend all licenses that i
issue your space with in a court of law, in other words, if you used this
license and AKM imposed a fee on you and you paid that fee, I would be in a
position to take you to a court of law. Its a ridiculous system, so it takes
ridiculous measures to ensure that music can be free. You are free to pay
AKM for the use of my live music performance, yet none of the money that you
paid for the use of the songs would be paid to me anyway, as i refuse to
submit live performance returns, as it only makes the situation worse. So if
you pay a fee to AKM for the use of the songs i created, then you would be
giving money that would go to the larger publishers and artists that control
AKM. Its interesting to note the way that the board of most rights
organizations is elected, it goes something like this. The more that the
artist or publisher collects the more power that that artist or publisher
has within that rights organization. The publishers in turn regulate the
venues and spaces for maximum exploitation of published content. Publishing
networks have been set up with the specific intention of excluding the self
published works of the people. AKM must be dismantled and regulated by the
self publishing artists that have been oppressed through its monopoly status
over the past 100 years. Power to the people, the tables must be tunred.
