The
MP3s will include tracks from each of the CDs as well as rarities
and previously unreleased songs and perfomances.
Until
such time as the expense of making these songs available for download
becomes more than I can afford, these new songs will remain available
to you. Feel free to copy them, and burn them to disc for yourself
and for your friends. Make MP3s of them and freely distribute
them to people you know who will enjoy them as much as I enjoyed
creating them for you.
If
you don’t want to take the time, or you don’t feel comfortable
“burning” the CDs yourself, please don't hesitate to purchase
the CDs! :')
Here’s
what I don’t want you to do...
Please
don’t sell these songs, in any form, under any circumstance. This
includes by including them in a compilation of others songs; By
burning a CD and charging a fee for the service; By creating a
copy of the CD with artwork and selling it thru retail or wholesale
channels or online; By, in any way, making a profit through the
distribution (digital or otherwise) or performance of this music.
And
now for a word from my attorney…
These
tracks are presented as is. By downloading these songs, you agree
you have a limited license to download this music for your personal
enjoyment only. Making copies for public distribution for sale
is expressly prohibited. Copyright laws protect this music and
Jonah Koslen reserves all rights under such laws.
“Why,”
you may ask yourself, “would you want to give these songs to your
fans for free?”
Because
I really did create them to be heard, I want you to have that
opportunity.
Before
the Internet, I would have had to conform to the traditional means
of distribution, promotion and radio play to make people aware
of this CD and make it available to them. Even then, chances are
that most folks would never be exposed to the music. Because of
the nature of the music business and the practical limits of radio,
these songs have remained unavailable up to this point.
But
thankfully, things have changed.
Please
purchase or download, listen to and live with this music, the
way my family and friends have.
