Thank you Sheraokee!
Well, to attempt to answer the question as best as I can {which really isn't saying much
}
We allow members to listen to the works of others but do not allow them to be downloaded or stored on another computer. There are many reasons for this just one being possible violations of copyright laws.
Whether it is being paid for or not, it would be distributed if we allowed for downloading. To avoid any possible liscencing issues, we permit listening only.
Further, we protecting the privacy of the submitter. Their works are only available on this site, which they have personally submitted them to. If someone was to download the singers submission they could very well put it elsewhere on the internet. Without the original submitters permission.
If you come across a song that was submitted and you would like a copy of that performance. Contact the original submitter and have them provide you with a copy of the song.
I hope that helps explain our position a little better.
Thanx
Phill
