What's Wrong With 360 Deals ?

Let's focus on the terms of 360 deals, and I will explain why I'm so passionately opposed to them. First of all, in many of these 360 deals the record company will demand that their earnings come out of the gross revenues, meaning that, if the cash that the labels actually receive has been reduced by any parties in the middle of the transaction (even if those parties themselves add value, as, for example, many music publishers do), then the label will add those amounts back in before calculating the percentage of revenue they retain. Think about that for a moment. The manager doesn't get paid on gross, and the artist certainly doesn't get paid on gross why then should the record company be paid on gross?

The lead singer of Juno award-winning group jacksoul has died after a seven month battle with lung cancer.
 
Haydain Neale, 39, passed away at Mount Sinai Hospital on Sunday surrounded by family and friends.
 
In a statement from his wife Michaela she says Haydain’s sense of humour and love of music was “ever-present” through the challenges.
 
“He constantly brightened the room with his singing and his smile. His joyful presence and beautiful voice will be missed by us all," she says.
 
Neale also leaves behind daughter Yasmin. 
 
Over the course of his career, Haydain was awarded the SOCAN award for "R&B Song of the Year," a Canadian Urban Music award for "Songwriter of the Year," and two JUNO awards for "Best R&B/Soul Recording.”
 
The singer was from Hamilton, Ontario. In August 2007, Haydain was involved in a car accident in Toronto that left him in hospital in critical condition.
 
The group is set to release a new album called SOULmate on December 1.
