Don't use Tunecore publishing. Their agreements are borderline criminal.

Don't use Tunecore publishing. Their agreements are borderline criminal.

Don't like remembering things a year in advance? Then don't use Tunecore publishing. Are you a non-US citizen and don't make a lot of cash from your music being played? Don't juse tunecore.
They only allow you to cancel their service WITHIN 60 days before the next renewal date. So you can't cancel it in advance, you have to do it in this time frame.
If you are a non-US citizen you have to will out a IRS form W8-B that with the costs of having the paper attested by a lawyer, postage etc that costs a big sum depending on where you live. If you don't do this you are taxed 60% by the IRS. This is not something Tunecore markets or gives you clear information about before hand. The costs can become quite large since the IRS requires the documents to be signed by a notary.
Stay away from Tunecore, they overall have pretty predatory business model

More proof that Tunecore sucks.
