Stay up on the laws fam, they change frequently. Yeah when I wasn't making money off music I felt the same way, until records of cease & desist files on me from 3 years before came up and I was CLOSELY watched for the first 20 beats I sold to labels. And those files are NEVER destroyed. So it maybe cool for you now, but if you ever do get on just remember that it's ALWAYS better to handle business like a business...
