Hey everyone,
I just found out about this awesome new Internet service called Distrokid which can get your music onto iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Amazon, and other sites in as little as 2 hours. It costs $19.99 to sign up, and then you can upload as many tracks as you want to these sites (through Distrokid) for a year! Sounds like a sweet deal, right? What do you guys think? Should I trust this site? :O

Yeah I don't like how that's worded at all, they should put a YOU keep 100% of the royalties.
If in doubt, THOROUGHLY read the terms and conditions of said site or service.

This probably doesn't mean much, but Youtuber Jack Douglass has endorsed it:

This is actually a well known music distribution service around hacker circles, and is popular on Hacker News (his original submission is here). It is legitimate. It's a good choice if you think you're going to be making enough money for the $20 per year to be worth it. At the moment, it seems it isn't as widely known about as I thought it was, so it doesn't have very many endorsements, but it's not a scam or anything. Incidentally, it used to be $50 a year, but it seems the price has been lowered, which makes this a much better deal than before. I use catapultdistribution like stratkat, but distrokid is a good choice too.
Ight, if it's legit, there's a badly worded line that could be misconstrued on the front page.
