This last post is very true. I wont even begin to speak about all the cases i have had with dealing with Nextel and ringtones.....

Basically... without artist permission... blah blah blah... hence why some providers do not provide mp3 ringtones... at least not anything worth listening to... they dont want to pay artist royalites.

I once asked Fabolous (yes, that's how he spells it) how much he gets from Nextel... he said as much as 5 to 10 cents.... (amazing since the ringtones costs .99).
