Never really considered that technology at all. 1) I don't know the cost effectiveness of it for a novice producer and 2) I don't think I've ever been at the level musically where I'd need to protect me shhh in that way. I could see where you could need something like this if you where a hot producer not already attached at the hip to a label.

Very Reasonable! and you can track your work anywhere it goes on the internet...sounds pretty awesome to me. I think this would be something good for those worrying about their music getting jacked. Ofc, I wouldn't post anything that I would be really concerned about but just incase, this seems to be a very reasonable solution.

Damn! Definitely in most "serious" producers budget right there. If I get as serious this "last" go around as was about 3 to 4 years ago I will definitely consider this. Definitely reads like it could keep you protected. Would definitely make it less of a headache to shop tracks. I'd be sitting around waiting to "choke a bitch" in court for ripin' me off. I'd sit back 6 months "after" the song got hot on the radio and then put "lawyers" foot to there arseeeee

My lawyer taught me something interesting this year. Not only should you LET people steal your beats(assuming you have it federally copyrighted) you should hope and pray everyday that they steal your beat and blow up with it. Then you let them, you sit and wait a year while your beat is raped and exploited for as much as possible(don't get greedy and wait more than 1.5 years in hiphop, the money could all be gone by then). THEN, you call your lawyer up, provide the proof of copyright/ownership and fuck them for every dollar they earned plus your statutory and legal fees(only if you have a federally protected copyright, through copyright.gov). THAT is how you get rich, lol.
