Hey Jody.

ceo AT l-i-e DOT com here, from MusicThoughts etc.

Unfortunately, the contract an artist signs with The Orchard is SO BAD that you probably DID give them permission to do that to your music...

It sucks, but what do you expect from The Orchard at this point?

They've routinely shown themselves to have no ethics whatsoever...

All I can suggest is having a lawyer read contracts before signing them -- Their contract was always so horrible...
