Apparently there's a clause in the contract that says for inclusion on the Statue Records website, the artist must stump up $100, for webspace costs etc. If the artist declines, they are still signed but Statue reserve the right to delete them from the catalogue if they sell less than 10 units in a year or something. But then, what is the good to the artist of being signed if the label can't help shift 10 CDs in a year? [/QUOTE]Sounds dodgy.
