Hope it helps someone out.

what does 11t1 do? (i.e. why would he know?) ... 11t1!???
i know very little that goes on here really...partly due to not spending forever on here and partly due to having only 1k of memory...

He's been working on soundtrack stuff...so I assume that he would be more in the know than me.

11t1 knows shit...
actually, i've yet to earn a single penny or sign a single contract as far as getting my music into film/tv, so i don't know much yet.
that said, i'm still working on it. i was about to pack it all in when a friend of mine from college found me after a decade through myspace. he has a post-prod studio that places lots of tracks in tv shows, and he wanted to know what libraries i was signed with. when i told him i wasn't signed with any, he made a few suggestions, all of which i'm researching right now while i compile a decent demo.
pump looks ok - i was unaware of them before this blog. once i've had a chance to read their 16 page contract i might send in a demo. the 50/50 split thing is pretty standard, fyi

They make a big deal about how non-exclusive their contract is, but it looks like it's only non-exclusive in that they can license to as many of their clients as they wish (good for the artist) and the artist retains full rights to release the tunes in album form, etc. (good for the artist), but once you get a tune listed with Pump they have exclusive licensing rights, meaning you don't get to license that tune with any other licensing companies, for however long you've agreed to let them use the tune (usually about 1-2 years).
I'm still pretty new to this whole thing, so I don't know if this is pretty standard or not. I've set an email to Pump asking for clarification, but, in the meantime, if anyone has any experience in these matters, please weigh in your opinion now.
thx - stv

ah, 11t1 is indeed the man good info - thanks!
i just wondered if pump might be of interest to someone else really...i am not so bothered in doing this sort of thing myself, for various reasons. would be good to know what you find out though 11t1...
hey squeal, glad to hear you used my samples a lot in your mixit...i hope it rocks!!!!!!!!
energygiant, i must say it was a bit like banging a bucket - lots of slack. *shivers at the thought*

Within 3 hours of submitting my query, I got this response from Rob Tourtelot, who oversees Web Content and Strategy for Pump:
"You're confusing exclusivity having to do with the songs or rights to administer in general with what's discussed in Pump's Right to Administer, which talks about the exclusive right to administer the publisher's share of royalties only for the uses Pump places. This has no effect on any other uses of your songs or ownership of or exclusivity over the songs in general.
As for what's standard, Pump created a new paradigm outside of standard, exclusive licensing relationships. Nobody was doing anything close to what we've now been doing for years, placing more independent music than anyone else in the world by far. If there is indeed a standard for non-exclusive companies, it would be due to people emulating Pump (which has happened here and there, though obviously the recent upstarts operate at a far smaller scale.)"
So, evidently, I had nothing to worry about, and they seem to be pretty much on the ball. They got back to me before 9AM (and we're in the same timezone).
