You
are bidding on a seven percent (7%) interest in
the hit single, “Everytime.” Only you Britney
and her co-writer, A. Stamatelatos will be
listed as the owners.

This is an EBAY first. Never before has a
copyright interest in a hit song written &
performed by a major recording artist ever been
auctioned on eBay. It may never happen again.

Can you imagine owing a piece of a Britney
Spears hit song that she actually co-wrote
herself – a song that will likely continue to
earn money for the rest of your life and an
inheritance for your heirs?

This ASCAP registered song, “EVREYTIME,”
which appears on Britney’s most recent LP, In
the Zone, has already sold over 7 million albums
worldwide and more than a million singles.

The seven percent (7%) share I own of
“Everytime” has already earned approximately
$60,000 and the earnings will likely go on
forever. You’ll get a check four times a year
from ASCAP for performances (radio/TV/film) and
checks twice a year from LP sales, ring tones,
TV, Film, sheet music, etc.

Imagine your friends’ envy and amazement when
they walk into your living room and see dozens
of Britney Gold & Platinum discs on your
walls – in YOUR name - testimony to the millions
of LPs and Singles sold ‘round the world. As one
of the three owners of this song – the others
are Britney and her co-writer, Annette
Stamatelatos; you will be eligible to receive
the Gold and Platinum sales awards should you
decide you want them.

If some Hollywood big shot wants to use the
song in a film or TV show, they will have to get
YOUR approval or they can’t use it. And they
will have to pay you. The same goes for
advertisers. If another artist decides to record
the song, you will make even more money.

It’s impossible to know how much the song
will bring in each year because nobody knows how
many times the song will be played on the radio;
how many LPs will be sold; how much sheet music
will sell, or how many times the song is used in
films, advertising or TV. But as a rule a song
earns 8.5 cents on every record sold and you get
paid each time it’s on the radio, used in
advertising, in a film/TV, etc.

I’ll never forget the day I first heard this
amazing song. I was in the recording studio with
Britney, her manager Larry Rudolph, and her
co-writer Annette. Annette had been Britney’s
back-up singer and was staying with Britney in
L.A. as a friend while Britney was working on
her In the Zone LP. I’m a manager in the music
business and two of my clients were also in the
room that day working with Britney – that’s why
I was there.

Anyway, we were all waiting for Britney to
show up and when she arrived with Annette she
said she wanted to play us a song that they had
written up at Britney’s house (at the time) at
the top of Doheny Drive in Beverly Hills.

Britney sat down at the piano and sang
“Everytime” while she played and Annette sang
harmonies. I was blown away. I immediately said
to everybody in the room, “this is a hit song.”
I acquired my ownership interest in the song
from Annette when the song was released.

Many people believe this very special song
was written about Britney’s ex-boyfriend, Justin
Timberlake and that’s what Annette told me at
the time. In fact, Annette told me it’s also
about her ex-boyfriend and the two of them wrote
the song while commiserating about their ex
flames.

In the Zone is certified Gold and Platinum
status in virtually every major worldwide
territory. In the USA the LP has sold almost
three million records or almost 3x platinum.

I haven’t bothered to take the time to
collect all the gold and platinum discs but I do
have photos here of the gold single award for
the UK and the Platinum LP award. I recently
ordered the USA double Platinum award and there
is a pic here of it being framed before it was
shipped out to me.

Many of you will be new to the music
publishing business and I will be happy to
answer all your questions in detail. Finally the
song is currently being administered by major
publisher Universal Music Publishing. When the
song was first released I did a three year
Universal to collect the song income worldwide.

After this deal expires in a year and a half
you can keep the song with them [Universal] to
administer the copyright or move it somewhere
else at your discretion.
