“There should be nothing ‘Standard’ About your Contract!”
Although, no contract should be allowed to take away your rights as a U.S.
Citizen, your contract should be tailor-made to fit your needs.
Never listen to an attorney that tells you that your music/publishing contract containing low figures is
standard. If you hear those words, run as fast as your little legs can carry
you because that attorney works for the system. These are not just words and I can prove it.
Due to personal experience, I would have to warn you that this is the
same ‘system’ that will probably sell you down the river, rather than help you
recover.
If you have attended and/or graduated from a School of the Arts
program, then you will be familiar with most of the aspects of signing the
contract so half the battle is over but don’t think that you are exempt from
being victimized.
The company holds all the cards and most of the time they usually have
your career planned out before the contract is on the table. Just remember that
if it was easy then everyone would have contracts.
As with any company, most contracts are first introduced solely for
the benefit of the company.
As an artist you have probably already been on the ‘grind’ for years
and you really want to be signed.
You should recognize that the standard contract can be all that is
needed to ‘shelf’ you and if you are at the point of signing you already know
what it means to be put on the ‘shelf.’
Just to have a contract doesn’t mean that all of your dreams are
coming true. You have to consider everything from the signing bonus, to the
time-frame that the contract in intended to cover, how much creative control you
will maintain and much more.
That signing bonus or advance is not free money and will have to be
repaid to the record company. These figures will be taken right off the top of
your portion so take an active part in negotiations and know exactly what it is
that you are getting into.
When addressing the contract’s advances, you will want to pay close
attention to that amount because this will tell you whether or not this company is really serious
about you and your talents or whether they will betray your trust.
It is important to think past the present and try to think about the
future with regards to how much it will cost to retain an attorney if this
deal goes bad.
If you are offered a very small amount, then you may want to decline
this deal completely because that is a good sign that they don’t want you to be
able to defend yourself financially.
They know that later on down the line and once you are signed there
will be nothing that you can do to prevent them from victimizing you. Remember in the title, Music Business: It’s a Dirty Game, ‘they will
be all smiles, pretending to have genuine interest, introducing you to other
producers - when all the while they will be ‘gutting’ all of your materials.’
The budget that is mentioned in the contract is not your money that
you can use to satisfy all your whims but it is the amount of money that will
be used to further the project.
This money is usually dedicated to cover the cost of studio time,
manager, expenses, promotion and marketing.
These companies are not in the business of just giving money away and
you should know that there are people working at many levels that share in your
budget so you might want to hold off on ‘making it rain’ right away.
Considering the contract and all of the details involved, you would
definitely want to read every line and seek counsel. I would encourage you to
seek counsel from an attorney who is within the entertainment industry and also
obtain a consultation with an attorney who is outside of the industry.
Most entertainment lawyers have their own clients and artist that they
represent.
Keep in mind that most attorneys will not fight tooth and nail on
behalf of the artist because they don’t want to make waves with the record
company. They would want to assure that he/she does not risk losing potential
future business.
Remember that most of the attorney’s in the music industry are
familiar with each other and have had business dealings with each other at some
point.

INTRODUCTION: SWP, LLC has compiled a set of books which shed light on the darkest side of big business and the 'system' that profits. Licensing rights available for controversial publications expose major corruption, abuse of power, privacy violations, rape, bullying, etc... against U.S. citizens. It is through these titles that Lovelace has an opportunity to shed light on the tactics that are used to deprive rights, manipulate events which are used to facilitate public support. These publications provide detailed proof of corruption and collusion. This Blog is not just for the aspiring artists but it is also for those who are interested in learning how the world actually operates. These titles reflect the entire process and expose the atrocities from the start of a career in music to the battle with corruption and abuse of power that destroy lives. Everyone has a story but the atrocities that have been allowed to continue blatantly will shock even the most weathered individual.' See for yourself: https://exercisingmyright.wordpress.com/
September 19, 2016 - Written By Tiwanda 'Ne Ne' Lovelace of SWP,LLC
This website was organized and compiled with supporting documentation so that each incident can be addressed properly by a legal professional in their field or category. However, after many decades of seeking to exercise my civil and human rights, it is clear that even with clear proof of deprivation of rights and much more...no attorney is willing to go against the 'system,' other major attorneys and officials!'
It is extremely difficult to summarized decades of abuse in a single page but this is my attempt to clarify and refute the so-called 'justification' that is being used to deprive any opportunity for justice and proper resolution.
I was never addressed and I was never given the opportunity to make a choice. No one has ever informed, addressed, consulted or advised me regarding why the need for 'public access.'
Consider my family background of being raised as a Jehovah's Witness by my mother and that my father, Robert Heard currently serving a life sentence in Michigan for allegedly murdering a police officer - Stanley Rapaski and bar owner - Cass Czerwinski. Click here: https://exercisingmyright.wordpress.com/2016/04/25/orchestrated-revenge-hiding-dirt/
Consider my direct association with many music producers in Detroit and my signing a co-publishing agreement with major label in New York has had an impact on my current situation. Racism, sexism and other factors has also contributed to many entities, group and individuals being negatively affected. Millions of dollars in profits made while using plaintiff's copyrighted material that was submitted and that should have been protected under Co-Publishing Agreement with major music publisher. See copies of Certified Copyright, Split Sheets, etc...at:
Also consider the questionable actions and inactions by the Courts refusal to acknowledge actual supporting documentation and the direct misconduct of the Courts and it's Clerks editing filings and withholding Plaintiff's and Complainants submission. See:
If I had not taken care of my legalities; such as, consulting attorneys - prior to signing contracts, securing copyrights and signed split-sheets,... I could accept responsibility if I had not but to have others keep you in the dark while taking your choices and subject you to multiple heinous acts...THIS SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE FOR ANY CULTURE BY ANY CULTURE!
Coincidentally, I am forced to succumb to public pressure, privacy violations, deprived of any and all resolution while business continues. Coincidentally, I am unable to obtain any direct assistance.
The daughter of an African American male who is serving a life sentence for allegedly killing a police officer in the late sixties (while being raised by a mother who hated him) is conveniently being deprived any acknowledgement.
I never dreamed that it could be possible that my life would not be my own.
I never thought that officials while acting ‘under color of law’ could refuse to acknowledge her as a human being or ignore clearly questionable, blatant criminal behavior unjustly forced upon her.
Everyone can tell lies and manipulate for decades but I don't have to lie...I PROVIDE PROOF!
See: https://requestforlegalhelp.com/2015/10/general-request-for-assistance/ or Click here General Request For Assistance'Tab' located on the left.
The letter below is in response to the General Request for Assistance.
There has never been any option for obtaining legal representation due to major entities involved and multiple events that officials disregard.
Clearly, I did not have this sealed. It is convenient that for decades, 'Under Color of Law' a person can be publicly deprived of every civil and human right. I am continually, openly being denied the decency of shelter and basic needs. Also, see obstruction of justice - blatant Obstruction of Justice Lawsuit Against Dekalb Police -https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxyj65ly7-H9X2R5Y2oxdXhMWTg.
Obstruction of justice and deprivation of rights has hindered and prevented Lovelace's ability to seek legal remedy through Michigan and Georgia courts. This is more than just a civil matter, there has been intimidation, violence, mail and court tampering. Each violation has deprived every recourse or resolution. When I first began seeking representation with any of the many legal issues, attorneys would return documents, declined representation. After a few years, those who responded with reference to statutes of limitation as if to dissuade. The statutes do not apply in criminal civil rights violations involving the use of intimidation or threat of force...Law enforcement misconduct (especially, acts committed under 'color of law,' blatant obstruction of justice, deliberate willful neglect, etc...). I declare that the information provided is true and correct. I wish to thank you in advance for your anticipated support and anxiously await your reply.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d1OBMP4FPgP3DsCXiPlYYTICyrawuJ3p3dBfm4P9Rks/view Note: This is an example of the blatant disregard and questionable response (allegedly) from officials regarding atrocities…
This is a copy of the most recent response addressed from the Department of Justice in reference to Request for Assistance regarding allegations (which included supporting documentation) showing blatant disregard for civil and human rights.
Note: Letter has no name listed; yet, initialed - AM
Although envelope has wrong zip code, this letter was delivered within (2) two days D.C. TO NV.
NOTE: This letter dated September 16, 2015 has an incorrect zip code listed so I have no idea how this piece of mail was delivered promptly. D.C to NV in 2 days? This letter does not have a full signature or name of respondent.
Again, there has never been any option for obtaining legal representation due to major entities involved and multiple events that officials disregard.
The legal system, police and courts refuse to acknowledge any claims in any case spanning years and even recent criminal acts involving police or judicial misconduct…while the public is used to spread rumors to justify modern day enslavement.
Emails and faxes are repeatedly blocked or automatically generate a mail delivery error (SCROLL EACH PAGE):
I have contacted two congresspersons - Congressman Joe Heck by fax and Congresswoman Dina Titus but no response:
FINALLY, I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECEIPT - BUT STILL NO FOLLOW-UP, YET!
I set up an account and paid for fax services. I have never had any problems with my faxes going through...
I have attempted to contact JUDICIAL WATCH...
More Blatant Corruption I can image how many citizens contact your offices seeking help so I will spare you the lengthy request. I have already contacted every senators, congresspersons, group, organization, agency but clearly due to abuse of power, influence, payoff's, intimidation and violence...everyone is turning a blind eye. There is blatant proof of judicial misconduct at this website. - https://requestforlegalhelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Sample-INVISIBLE-Part-II-COM.pdf and http://musicbizadirtygame.blogspot.com/ https://requestforlegalhelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Gmail-Fwd_-Judicial-Misconduct-auto-mail-delivery-errors.pdf IT'S NOT JUST GOOGLE...I received same issues with OUTLOOK too!
Courts:
The courts ignored actual violence and facts while attributing 'violence' to being a product of plaintiffs ovarian cystectomy (female surgery)...
There was individuals who were assaulted, shot, double homicides, etc...but no one addressed or acknowledged each incident.
I am not an attorney but due to most turning a blind eye, I have been forced to take matters in my own hands. I do not have to tell you how dangerous this can be but I refuse to be bullied out of my civil and human rights without a good fight.
I have reached out to many of the legal aids organizations but in spite of 'obstruction of justice' and many other unethical behaviors (which have clearly violated my civil rights)...some have attempted to use the statutes of limitations to dissuade the pursuit of justice.
It is as if they are disregarding that the law stipulates that civil rights violations have no statute of limitations.
Ultimately, I counted on my rights as a U.S. citizen...never considering that any could manipulate events to promote mass deception, placing blame on me.
Unaware that the 'system' that is supposed to guarantee our rights, could care less about a black female from Detroit. I had no idea that these multiple well-connected, organized groups and entities could do anything to me without repercussion or consequences.
It was bad enough that this society has a history of inhumane cruelty to minorities and that my family background would have me on their evil radar. After being subjected to their sexism, now I was allegedly to blame for racism, itself.
For many years, I have been seeking legal assistance with serious violations of constitutional laws. Throughout the years, I have been given many reasons as to why no one will help me...I have been told that I am in the wrong country. I was told that I blamed the wrong people for my copyright infringements.
It has been implied that I am the reason people have been negatively impacted: yet, I received no communication or explanation - just blame.
What is funny is that for decades, I have had multiple strangers insinuate that the public has implicated an agreed 'slave' sum of $2 million for 20-30 years of rape, violence, intimidation and more! It has been these monsters running joke for decades!
Many blame 'my situation' on racism and sexism, while 'my public' has mocked, harassed and laughed while making it a point to imply that both; blacks and whites have united in denying any resolution due to possible violence stemming from onset.
For decades, I have been told that nothing will ever change and that I should kill myself.
Every reason that can be thought of is being used to induce public's support in denying me resolution and some have even gone so far as to spread vicious rumors of me being a child molester (which is a lie).
I have only attempted to exercise my civil and human rights! I have always worked, legally protected myself and secured proper documentation when conducting business. As an adult, I have NEVER hurt anyone.
I have never been strung out on drugs, an alcoholic or had any mental issues that would be used to justify mistreatment.
Even if I were, that would not explain why I am unable to obtain legal representation against the major entities that have allowed, initiated and encouraged blatant civil and human rights violations and obstruction of justice, etc...
EVEN WITH SUBSTANTIAL PROOF OF WILLFUL AND DELIBERATE WRONG DOING!

I PROVIDE PROOF!
:
THIS WAS NATIONAL NEWS EVEN THEN - SEE NEWS CLIPPINGS!
My direct association with many music producers in Detroit and my signing a co-publishing agreement with major label in New York has had an impact on my current situation. Racism, sexism and other factors has also contributed to many entities, group and individuals being negatively affected.
Although I have supporting documentation regarding major civil rights violations and obstruction of justice (that do not have statutes of limitations)...I am being denied any legal recourse or any opportunity for proper resolution. Meanwhile, I am continually subjected to public ridicule, harassment, etc...
Of Course, this is being used to deter legal assistance.
Commission never asked who they represented on conflict of interest complaint...
If I had not taken care of my legalities; such as, consulting attorneys - prior to signing contracts, securing copyrights and signed split-sheets – CERTIFIED COPYRIGHT CERTIFICATES AND SPLIT SHEETS
The decision was made.... people used their influence and power because every outlet from privacy violations, the public, television programming, radio, employers to inflict harm and to attempt to induce suicide. Many were physically hurt to persuade mass cooperation and cooperate, they have (at least where I've been!
Many have used others instances of injustice and hardships in an effort to desensitize, minimizing the criminal and civil wrongdoings as if it should just be a normal part of life. However, a lifetime of deliberate obstruction and wrongs combined with continued unnatural incidents (including violence) only confirms this is not the same.
These efforts to deceive are easily categorized as attempts to suppress the truth behind disregarding facts; thus, cementing this oppression.
The difference between similar instances of injustice is the criminal behavior used to facilitate, manipulate and cement the oppression for others to profit. Meanwhile, the masses are being fed information which promotes hostility and vengeance regarding incidents that are happening behind the scenes (violent incidents that are not acknowledged).
Most aren't placed in a position to be judged daily by all through public access.
They don't have to fight everyone AND major corruption. People have understanding, empathy. They have support, encouragement, publicity, acknowledgements, and movies, exposure and have others sharing their story.
I have organized a substantial amount of supporting documentation regarding multiple legal situations; which involves, copyright infringements, breach of contract, civil rights violations, mail tampering, court tampering, accusations of antitrust violations, unfair trade practice, unfair competition and violent acts.

Self Interview - Tiwanda Lovelace December 12, 2015
This is an example of the blatant disregard and questionable response (allegedly) from officials regarding atrocities...
This is a copy of the most recent response from the Department of Justice in reference to allegations (which included supporting documentation) showing blatant disregard for civil and human rights:
NOTE: This letter has an incorrect zip code listed so I have no idea how this piece of mail was delivered promptly. This letter does not have a full signature or name of respondent.
This is a completely ridiculous and an unacceptable way to handle another human being; especially, a U.S. Citizen.
When I write a book about my experiences, which expose the atrocities, my titles are flooding with other sellers:
Other sellers are deliberately mocking the publication...
One Seller has it priced as $0.78 Used - but all outlets report $0.00 sales to me!
Another seller is having fun listing this title for sale as $
Google search was advertising my book for $0.99 cents, while I had it listed as $19.99
Thank you for your interest!

Please contact me using any of the emails, phone numbers and website contact forms at any of the following websites -
Note: Remember that those in positions have been able to thwart justice and hinder assistance using technology. Some of my calls are not getting through and some of my emails are not being received so please try to reach me and if I don't respond please use another method of contact because I am very serious about obtaining proper resolution!
AN EXAMPLE OF THE GENERAL RESPONSE BY THOSE IN A POSITION TO ASSIST:
See March 3, 2016 video of response from a Civil Rights Organizations representative's 'defeatist' attitude and who clearly has no interest in actually providing assistance. Visit: https://youtu.be/CJ4LUmCg7tc?t=2m30s (This org. is the 1st listing for assistance from an online search engine).
Video shows Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights is too busy and could care less about standing up for people's rights or at least this African-American female. Why do people fund these types of programs? If they don't actually have any intention of doing what they allege, why do they continue to operate? Are they in place to weed out those who don't accept 'slavery?' Are they in place to add to the despair of those who are already facing the vilest of violations by nonchalantly telling them to 'buzz off'?
L.C.C.R. of San Francisco, CA 94105 Showed complete disregard for individual's civil rights and their response to allegations was disgusting for an organization who is supposed to represent the fight for civil rights.
Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights apparently believes that violations are acceptable for certain individuals...It's ridiculous that according to their rep, "...it's happening to a lot of people..." so therefore, he was saying, 'whatever!' It went from him not having time to even look at the 2-page letter to tell me more, then he abruptly said, 'don't be surprised if I cut you off... It’s truly sad when those who are in place to assist, demonstrates that they could care less!
The woman who went to get their other rep. laughed as the man came to get the 2-page letter and my business card. I will be releasing the audio of the D.O.J. response to allegations of misconduct and more...
NOTE: Correction - 'Not the son of the chief of Police but still related' (either way, it is a very strange coincidence).

Note from Author:
I have had people completely disregard the most heinous acts and mistreatment under the guise that my writing allegedly reflects poor grammar. I am supposed to be this uneducated, ignorant and unworthy individual who cannot compile a sentence.
I am super stressed, constantly bombarded and subjected to repeated unnatural events who is trying to exercise her rights to live so I'm sure a few typos can be overlooked.
I am one person. I am the only person in the whole world that cares about my freedom and my struggles.
I am using the only method that is available to me to fight for the right to exist and to be recognized as a human being. I copy and paste between article.
I am constantly having to battle major opposition, racism, sexism and stupidity.
Everything that I release, write and share has to go through many programs, people and technology. I use spell-check and attempt to review every article. When I release my recordings, they reflect my thoughts and the message is far more important than the grammar used.
Please consider that the information on these blogs, websites and titles are in direct conflict with multiple entities and groups. I have provided a multitude of supporting documentation which clearly shows opposition. I do not know what you receive on your end but if you are receiving copies with poor grammar and poor punctuation...there is a good chance that you are not receiving genuine publisher approved final copies.
