Am I being impatient?

[dspki.livejournal.com]

Hi all, I just wanted to say that I've been lurking a while and this will be the first post I make here. I came across a dilemma and I'm just wondering if I'm doing the right thing at this point.

So a quick backstory. I commissioned this artist back in January 2012 and I've been incredibly patient with her. After some thinking I emailed her last month and requested a refund. She said she would give it to me by the end of the week. A few days later she told me she was having problems getting money into her bank account. It's been a month and I have not heard from her at all. I sent her an email a few days ago checking in on what's been going on and as of this post I have not received anything.

My main question is regarding the issue with Paypal. Does it take a while for this kind of issue to be resolved and if it does should I be more patient? Or should I attempt to create a beware about her? I'm not really sure what to do at this point so I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance!

[Looking for advice] Selling music/rights of use?

[gluttonousangel.livejournal.com]

This is my first time doing something like this, so I'm a bit nervous, haha. I'm currently in talks with someone on YouTube over providing them with music for their videos and I'm going to be getting paid for my work. I've never sold music before, so I'm trying to work out how best to benefit from the arrangement and how to protect myself, profit and rights wise.

This is what we're currently negotiating;

• Payment is a one-off song-by-song basis, with full rights for use and editing transferred to the client, with the agreement that I receive credit for my work and the client receives sole profit from their ad revenue (agreed on)


• However, if the client wanted to sell the songs in a soundtrack bundle, the profit would be split between the two of us (just suggested this; waiting to hear back from the client)

I'm also going to ask them to sign a contract, once we've agreed on everything and keeping a few physical and online copies of it, just to cover my ass, so to speak.

Is there anything else I need to do to cover myself and best protect my assess or am I doing okay?
