Look, Amazon on-Demand CD Service is NOT your Indy producing and then selling his self manufactured CD. It is Amazon burning his tracks in a one-off CD-R, printing a label on it, and mailing it to the customer who has somehow found it and wants it. . . for a fee to the Indy which is paid out of the sale price. . . As well as a yearly service fee paid by the Indy. That is NOT marketing the indy's music. You still have no clue about what marketing is. Amazon has no obligation to Market his music. None. The Indy is responsible for that. . . and I am not ignorant about it at all. You have some very odd ideas about how it works. . . and you think profit just falls off trees.

I think you'd make a good member of the current Supreme Court, with your flexible ideas of how contracts should be read.

Oh see no that is exactly how easy it is to get your stuff on Amazon. You can also sell your Professionally manufactured Tunecore or CD Baby CDs on Amazon with a few clicks. Hell you can sell Posters and T-shirts etc. It is very easy. And Amazon is the largest online retail site in the world. Your claim that it is hard to get physical media into retail is laughable and shows just how clueless you are about the Indie Music Biz.

And yes Amazon will help you market your stuff in the same way they help Independent Authors with the tools they provide to market their stuff through Kindle with social media etc.
