Posting
requirements:
All Ads posted must be music industry related and be
in the appropriate category for the post. Free Ads
are free for 6 months. Although it is not a
requirement, we do ask that you tell 2 friends of
your concession to help promote traffic to this
site, and ultimately to help you get a reply to your
post. Banner Ads are an exception to the music
industry rule but are subject to our discretion. We
reserve the right to not accept any banner ad
without cause.
Why was my
post deleted?:
We normally
do not delete posts, but we reserve the right to
delete any post at our discretion without cause. If
your post was deleted, it was usually due to the
fact that it was not music-related or it was posted
to an incorrect category. Other causes for deletion
of Ads would be inappropriate language or photos, or
suspected spamming, harassment of other ad posters;
or if we suspect you are dishonest in your
intentions.
Reporting
inappropriate posts:
If you find
an offensive, inappropriate, or dishonest post,
please report it to
Ads In the title of you
message please use "Reporting inappropriate posts";
also an explanation and a translation. We will look
into the allegations and delete the Ad if we find it
to be accurate, at our discretion, Please provide
the Ad ID number.
Harassment:
It would be nice to run a service to people with
some hope of recapturing the cost without having our
friends who post harassed. Maybe we will fall under
the good grace of all, even those with different
views than ours, and we won’t have to delete or try
to ban anyone. We like to look for the good in
others. It is easy to find the bad. It is at our
discretion to prevent ads or admission to those who
do not wish to be friendly.
Spam:
Frankly, we
never understood the mindset of spam. After all, if
you crap on someone's dinner plate, do you think
that there is a high probability they will pay for
it or eat it? That being said, there are those who
find entertainment in the sport of nonconformity and
the hope that brain-washing will prevail, so we have
instituted anti-spam measures and will continue to
try to reduce it for our friends. It is at our
discretion to prevent Ads or admission to those who
do not wish to be friendly and spam us.
Subpoenas,
Etc:
We want to
work within the limits of the law even if we don't
always agree with it. If we are forced by law to
turn over our records and cannot find any other
legal way to avoid this thing, we will have no
choice but to comply. That being said, outside of
that situation, we have no intention to hand over
our records to anyone outside of a buy-out. And we
are not looking to sell.
Event
Calendar:
Our event
calendar is free to all. We feel it is very
comprehensive with the different Country, State and
City listings. With the addition of the World
International, USA National, Countries National and
State-wide (Ex. Virginia "State") posting locations,
we provide one of the most comprehensive and easily
posted event calendars on the Net. Post can be made
in any language and searched by language, or area or
both. If
your music organization does not have a web site, our
calendar can provide your members with up-to-date
information. If you have national or world engagements,
this is an excellent way to post them for free. Events
will automatically terminate the day after the event
date. At World Music List we occasionally post events
for artists we would like to promote at our discretion.
Contributions:
If you feel
you have benefited financially from your free
advertisements with World Music List and would like
to contribute a small portion of your earnings to
help us continue our free sponsorship of Ads for
music professionals and music instrument sales,
please check our "Contribution" page and select an option for contributing.
We greatly appreciate you help. It is our desire
to help others like you. Or you can send a check to
the address in our "About Us" section.
World Music List ?:
Consider the conditions. To advertise a music
instrument in a newspaper, it is common to be
charged $20.00 a day or more. In a week or two,
this could claim all of the profit in the sale. As
a music professional, these kinds of fees make it
prohibitive to do much advertising. Event posting
is either scattered or expensive. After seeing the
movie "A Beautiful Mind" about a man who developed a
math formula proving that if many small and large
entities such as nations worked together all would
benefit. (Perhaps this inspired the Euro in
Europe.) He won a Nobel prize for math. We were
inspired to develop World Music List in an effort to
unite all of the world’s music professionals in a
common directory and make it possible for greater
trafficking of music instruments for everyone,
individual, business and wholesaler, to everyone's
benefit.
Our Vision: If you
look for the good in people you will usually find it and
if you look for the bad in people you will usually find
it, so you need to look for the good. It is easy to
find the bad. "Lillian Organ Campise"
There is only one good thing (emotion) to use your
talents for the good of those around you and yourself.
"Louis Gesensway", Philadelphia Composer and 45 year
violinist for the Philadelphia Orchestra.
We believe the secret of turning your life around
when going through bad times is to get your focus off
of yourself and start doing some things (as small as
they may be) to help others. When you do this, your
situation will start to improve, if not only in your own
mind.
Life is 10 percent about what happens to you and 90
percent about how you react to it. "Charles Swindoll"
World Music List is the child of several
other business ventures. They were promising and
provided enough to live day to day, but in a rising
climate of accessing fees on those who have little or no
say in how much the assessors can extract from one’s
budget without any concern for the individual’s ability
to pay, we started to squirm under the pressure. In the
field we encountered many requests to sell instruments
and for professional services other than those we
provided. We wanted to do something that would benefit
many others. We believe that World Music List is about
providing opportunities for many others to benefit. We
believe that is has an 80 percent or greater potential
for the benefit of others, yet we hope there is some
benefit at some point for us. We hope, first of all,
that if we grow to the point that our traffic requires a
dedicated server or a T-1 Internet connection, that it
will provide this income. Second, possibly we will get
back our personal
financial investment. Third, we dream, we believe
everyone should have dreams. Without them life stops.
We believe in the concept of World Music List and its
potential to help many people and perhaps help some of
them to continue their personal dreams.
