PureVolume is a music community site that allows bands to create a profile and share their music and news. The design of the site is clean and intuitive, borrowing a bit from the "clean" design styles of Apple and iTunes. Creating an account is simple, and requires the usual form submission and email verification. However, one thing to watch out for is their "Artist Agreement". While their terms of use is standard enough, and sounds friendly by stating that the license "shall terminate at such time as you remove your Content from PureVolume", if you read the Artist Agreement, you will quickly discover that by uploading any content you are granting PureVolume a "world-wide, royalty free, irrevocable, perpetual license, alone or together or as part of other information". As if that isn't bad enough, you are also allowing them to "sublicense such rights through multiple tiers of sublicenses, all without any obligation to you, whether by way of compensation, attribution or otherwise". So not only are you giving them your content for free and for forever, but you're giving them carte blanche to do whatever they want with it, all the while sublicensing it out to numerous other companies, who can then sublicense it further and do anything with it that they like without even crediting you (much less paying you). If I'm understanding the contract correctly...

Now I've dealt with these types of band-bending-over agreements before, and it isn't pretty trying to get out of one of them. So my best advice to you as a band is not to upload any content to this site that you wouldn't want to be licensed out from under you (without any royalties) for the rest of your life. Or just create a profile and advertise your official homepage URL there. Or just skip this site altogether...
