Kon Re-edit appreciation

Do the artists/label take a cut of any vinyl sales etc? Is there a contract?


I'm curious because I own some pretty rare multitrack sessions that I've been sitting on for years that frankly I'm afraid to mess around with due to legal hassles. I've taken things like the acapella and drums, but never stripped down and totally rebuilt a track from scratch and put it out for the public.


Just curious. thx




these are very limited run, vinyl only releases and are often released under an alias...it's all under the radar.




If you look at any online retailer of dance music, there are tons of under the radar edits that certainly have not cleared samples. I suppose most (but certainly not all) use more obscure source material than the Kon edits, but the practice is widespread.

Short run, sell them all fast.


Then when you get the C&D letter you can just file it because you have already ceased and desisted.





Suing is for hits where there is money to recoup.





I don't know, but I am guessing that is how it works.
