Beatport tax?

Psytox; if the artist releasing isn't registered to a collecting society, you don't have to pay (and Beatport hopefully make their system right so this won't be the case).
If you have artists where your label have paid to a collection society and they still haven't received anything after 2 years, I would suggest that the artists involved contact their collecting society with prove of the labels payment and demand to get their money, because otherwise anything else would

Almost every other store has better prices, more user friendly UI and better download connection, only thing most other stores misses are the content that Beatport has.

maybe artist will switch to other distributor if this fck tax isn't a good bargain for them.
