music promotion model: jetgroove.com
just a quick tip on jetgroove.com – launched with some fanfare a while ago, it now seems that the stink of scam has come to jetgroove. i haven’t had a chance to verify any of the ground-level situation, but apparently, material is showing up on jetgroove quite to the surprise of some of the creators.
it’s a globe-spanning operation (registration in the united kingdom, operations in russia, servers in canada, music from around the world), so pretty much anyone with material available in digital format is at risk.
so, before you go too much further into your musical career, it may be worth checking out jetgroove and see if your material is hiding in there somewhere. unfortunately, it looks like it’s an opt-out sorta situation:
JetGroove officially states that if any record label or any artist is not interested to have one’s tracks on www.jetgroove.com, one should inform JetGroove immediately and all the information JetGroove has about one’s tracks will be taken off the website ASAP.
not so much a case of buyer beware, but creator beware.
