if you are, or know any juggalo rapper enetering icp's contest, READ THIS
from the contract:
Quote:
****THIRD PARTY CONSENT: You represent that the Work shall contain no sampling whatsoever and that the material is otherwise original in all
respects. You also represent that any third parties whom may have contributed to the Work, including but not limited to programmers,
producers, mixers, engineers, writers and other artists, have no interest in the Work or will otherwise make no claims of any kind against PRI.
In the event that a third party takes action against PRI, based on the Work or its use, you agree to indemnify PRI against any and all such
actions, including paying for any and all attorney fees that PRI may incur in its defense, plus costs and damages, if any. You also agree to
waive any and all claims and actions that you may have against PRI as a result of the Contest and agree to hold PRI harmless against any
such claims.
ok this right here takes orgin of rap out of the contest. rap was based off sampling always has and always will. this also fucks the artist completely with the claim wavier. if i submitted To Whom....with davryl on guitar minus his writing permission. PSY could make mad loot off that reguardless if id win or not cause the song would no longer belong to me. plus if davryl would choose to sue. psy is not accountable, and it would go straight do a suit between me and him. long story short. if i submit that track, its gets mad airplay and psy make 200,000 off it in radio spins and single sales. they'd owe me nothing cause, by signing this, im giving them full copywrightes to the song. if davryl would decide to sue.......psy is out the picture on all legal dealings and he couldnt even see a cent of that 200,000. it would be a court case between me and him.

*****USES OF WORK: The Work is intended to be commercially exploited, either separately, together and or in conjunction with other elements, in
connection with the sale, lease, licensing or other exploitation, by any means or media now or hereafter devised, including but not limited to via
literary, film, video, electronic distribution and sound recordings, in any form, and any other means or media, without limitation. You
understand and agree that PRI will have no obligation whatsoever to compensate you for the Work at any time, now or in the future, for any
reason whatsoever.
this is just that they have the right to make money off any song in any form. say they sold Jesus Save's to Honda for a car commerial lmmfao. they keep all the money. i dont get dick. they dont owe me dick. not even a thank you for making them rich for next to nothing. they could even use it as a soundtrack song for a hermaphidite porn video. make seem like im into chicks with dicks and i couldnt even sue for slander.
Quote:
******OWNERSHIP OF WORK: You hereby assign, transfer and set over to PRI, its successors and assigns, one hundred percent (100%) of your
entire right, title and interest, including without limitation any and all so-called "moral rights," in and to the Work, together with all copyrights
therein and thereto throughout the world and any and all renewals and extensions of copyright therein now known or hereafter existing under
any law, rule, statute and/or regulation now known or hereafter enacted or promulgated, and including without limitation the exclusive right to
administer such copyrights. The Work shall be the sole and exclusive property of the PRI in perpetuity, free from any claim whatsoever by you
or any other person or entity. Neither the expiration nor termination of the agreement pursuant to which the Work was produced, nor this
Agreement, shall affect the ownership by PRI of the Work.
more or less saying whatever you submit is THEIRS forever and ever. they dont have to pay you nothing if they dont wanna. you cant do shit but sit back and watch them get rich off your blood, sweat and tears.

*****JURISDICTION: This validity, construction and effect of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan applicable to

or Wayne County, Michigan for disputes and actions, if any, arising from or pertaining to this Agreement unless PRI shall, in its sole discretion,
waive such jurisdiction or venue. If you are under 18 years of age as of the date herein, then this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of California, but venue and jurisdiction shall remain in the State of Michigan.
no matter if i live in flordia and they couldnt pull this shit under our state laws....they can now cause every case will be heard under the State Of Michigan. similar laws are in effect in cali for minors. thats why if your a minor, your not under michigan law no more(cause the same doesnt imply for minors there so they found a state where it does) and your parents could sue.
Quote:
*****You have been encouraged to seek independent legal advice concerning this Agreement, and you have executed and entered into
this Agreement on the date written below, knowingly, voluntarily and of your freewill.
heres the kicker lol. they know its a bullshit move and actually feel kinda sorry for the submitter. so they are pressing the "seek independent advice" to clear up their own conscious from jump lol.
bottomline. if you got great materal and dont care to GIVE it away then its worth a shot. but realize 1. there is only gonna be 1 winner. 2. they can use your music/ likeness for any reason(they could actually take random acts like it is, have abk rhyme the same shit over the same beat, even rename him psycho jesus, make tons off it, and i wouldnt get a fucking cent.) theres a great chance that theyll make a "UnderGround Psycho's" Comp. album with all the atrist submissions and make mad loot off it with really no effort put in by them cept to disturbute the cd.
this whole contest is like a rap holocaust....great fuckin idea just gone about terribly fucking wrong with J looking like Adolf.
with thanks to psycho jesus
