message: I found this while researching Tunecore. I can't tell if it's either an angered former customer blogging as several people, but there are legitimate people who are also posting warnings, and it seems that they're willing to put their faces (and reputations) on the line about this (if indeed they actually exist).

Of course, keep in mind that this isn't a whole lot of bad feedback, (for instance, put "paypal" and "scam" into Google and you'll see a lot more come up than this blog) and it doesn't seem to make sense that the people at Tunecore would take such a risk considering how many other high profile bands that are connected with them, but it would be nice if this comment were at least addressed by someone rather than just a blogger. According to the Better Business Bureau they've had a total number of 5 complaints within the last 3 years -- 2 of which have been resolved and 3 of which have been resolved by the administration. They have an overall rating of "A". This does not strike me as a scam. If there were hundreds (or thousands) of complaints then I would be more prone to lend an ear to anti Tunecore blogging. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
:Do you seriously believe a blog that's so poorly written?! I can only comment on my experience with TuneCore, which has been first class. Their support isn't great, but they seem to do a good job. Rolypole (talk) 04:46, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is there a controversy surrounding Tunecore? Are they allegedly being investigated by the FBI? Are they a scam? 

message: We've written a response to this article. It's obviously absurd, but we want folks to know that people who steal music get no help from TuneCore:

message: Isn't Tunecore in hot water with some of its current or former music artists for allegedly "stealing" or freezing up royalties and keeping them away from them? 67.43.190.226 (talk) 18:21, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
