mixtapes

[james_face]

does anybody know if royalties are paid from mixtapes or do people just straight jack the beat use it and profit from it and don't get sued. kuz I hear alot of mofos using other people's beats and was just wondering if they paid royalties for using them. kuz some peeps be saying in their songs that they jaked the beat and all this noise and blah blah blah so what is it ?

if its done the right way..yes royalties are paid..but most mixtapes arent pushin enough units to worry about it..when you a big name DJ you want everything cleard before release...the labels dont really care about mixtape unless you selling them in retail stores and they arent receiving any profits..tht when the crack down comes..
