Correct. This field in MB is for imprints, maybe, or at least usually. I am not defining a field, I am defining a label.
This is no longer part of the conversation as it has been removed. The only portion still remaining is if Chop Not Slop is a valid record label. To that, it is clearly YES. Now is it a valid imprint? Well, maybe. Is it a brand, yes. Is it a trademark, yes. But is it a qualifying imprint for MB? I dont know, still waiting.
This is not a requirement for anything, is it? If so, this is easy⌠only entities that appear in that database are valid for input to the MB release label field, as it appears on a release.
Person=label as an absolute is all you. I said that a person can be a label and a label can be a person. And I will still say both of those are true.
This is also false. Again I refer to reality. In the US, as I said, if you sell a certain number of cars in a year, you are considered a car dealer, whether you want to be or not. If you self release, you are acting and filling the role of record company and label, again assuming you have done those roles. If you do not want that role, then you would hire third party to do so. Correct? Just because you do it for yourself does not mean you are for hire though.
Also, I am talking about the rest of the world, the way that the majority does things. MB, as has been made clear, uses the term âlabelâ to mean a slightly reduced subset of a label. That is all fine, but you cannot use your modified term as anything but an internal term and usage. So what is the criteria, for MB, to be listed as release label? Is it being an imprint? Well, no as fmera pointed out. It is not an absolute requirement as a company can be a label. So, what allows a company to be a label? It was said that if the imprint is not separate from the company. Ok, so what is an imprint? A brand or trademark used? Yes or no? If so, what is a brand or trademark?
