Blue Water Records is a privately owned and operated music label. Our goal is to bring
great music in great genres to fans who might otherwise never hear our artists.
All of the music available via BWR is copyrighted, with all rights reserved. For most of
our catalog, BWR is the world-wide exclusive publisher of our releases. Our releases are
available in digital form, in physical form (CD or DVD), or both. We sell copies of our
releases both directly from this web site, as well as through the network of channels and
stores provided by our distributor, IODA.
Please note:
-
Any unauthorized distribution of our releases is prohibited by US federal law and
international treaty. Please tell your friends about our music but please don't bootleg
our work.
-
Consumers are authorized and encouraged to make backup copies of the copies of our
releases that they purchase, and to play their copies on as many devices as desired,
so long as the consumer is always present when the release is played or it is played
on a device of the consumer's property, and so long as the consumer does not distribute
their copy to anyone else nor perform it in a public (as opposed to private) setting.
-
To the best of our knowledge, all of our releases are free of any third party licensing
issues. For example, some of the tracks on some of our releases may include third party
samples or libraries, whether as incidental sound fx or as a core part of the music. We insist that
our artists obtain proper permission to use any third party products. However, it is many
times not possible for us to detect or prevent all possible licensing questions. and both
we and our artists are human - meaning we sometimes make mistakes too. If you
are a third party and believe we have violated your rights or licensing terms, please
contact us immediately and we will work with you to resolve
the situation promptly.
-
We support the notion of freedom of speech, and to that end we place few restrictions upon
our artists in terms of the types of content they may include or the message they are trying
to communicate. Therefore, BWR is not responsible for the message or content of any of our releases,
nor does the message or content necessarily reflect the position of BWR's owners or management.
If you have any questions about our policies or anything in general, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
