[Rumori] Music on Wal-Mart.com

[das]

we've come across this a lot.
and if the company does get back to you regarding their infringment,  
its usually with a list of things YOU must do (or get a lawyer)
before they will comply

i even heard back from a rhapsody rep that if we don't register with  
bmi'ascap that they could do anything that they want with our music.
he never wrote back when i asked if the action of loading my disc  
into a cd tray and uploading it to their server meant premeditation.  
hmmmmmm

Wal-Mart.com is selling our music. How does this happen?

If they actually SOLD any, and I wouldn't expect we'd be a huge  
revenue spinner for them, where does this money go? I never signed up  
for THIS. I don't care if our stuff is given away FREE -downloaded- 
uploaded-toploaded, but I'm freaking disgusted that Wal-Mart is  
potentially making ANY money off our work. Has anyone had experience  
with this?
