I have recently received an email regarding one of my older songs from 4-5 years ago ...
Here's the original email :
" I am Brett Murrell, development head for the board game Duel of Ages (www.duelofages.com). We have a demo CD being produced this upcoming week for a tradeshow, and would like to use your Hippihonk as the background for the CD. Please reply soonest for terms -- we have to have the Demo ready for build by Monday end. Thanks! "

" Sounds good to me. What information do you need from me exactly? "
He replied :
" It sounds like the business guys would like one of two options:
A small fee just to use a section of the song on the Demo CD, OR
Payment to use the song as the theme for the game (as the song is one of my favorites, I've been pushing that
). This would be a purely non-exclusive right. The song remains yours, and we could use it only in context of the Duel of Ages/Worldspanner board games, which means basically use only as advertisement and convention background.
I have a quality MP3 of the song that will work well for our purpose.
Anyway, think about that, give me a general interest level, and I'll lay that out to the b-guys today... Thanks for the response... "
Now, judging by their site, it's not a terribly high-budget operation, and considering that I have never received money for my music ever before, what would be a reasonable dollar-figure for me to ask for?
For those who want to hear the track, it can be found at http://www.mp3.com/agtronic - First time visitors will be asked for an email address, but I definitely would not give mine out, they're one of the largest spammers out there. So type in something like 1@1.com for an email, unless you want to receive 20 spam emails daily starting tomorrow.
Anyways, I'd appreciate any insight, or any advice you may have to offer!
Thank you!
