Some of you guys have demos on your websites... how do you handle the rights for the songs? Do you pay to be allowed to put them there? Or do you just stick 'em out there and hope no one catches you?

If you are paying for it, what are the rates?

The reason I ask is that I too would like to put demos on my site, I believe I can get more work that way, but I haven't found a way that is economic enough.

As far as I know, nobody bothers with the rights. I certainly never have. In fact, I never really even thought about it. Now, if you are recording the songs and offering them for sale on a CD, it's a different judgement that has to be made.
