Thatmeans that if you write your own songs, or you are the primarywriter in your band, you can join TAXI. The rule of thumb is youcan send in any music you've written or co-written, but can'tsubmit for friends. You can sign up in the artist's name, in care ofyourself (if you're a manager or publisher), and administer themembership for them.

Inorder to sell Ringtones, whether monophonic, polyphonic orincorporating the master(Truetones) it is necessary for theRingtones seller to first identify the copyright owners. Formonophonic or polyphonic Ringtones (not incorporating theoriginal master) this means finding the controlling musicpublisher or, as is more likely in the U.S.A., the joint musicpublishers and then obtaining a licence from them. For Truetones,which actually sample the original master recording, not onlymust the publishers be contacted, but also the record companiesthat own those actual recordings.
