		<description>Hey Ryan,

Thanks for the pointer, but the main thrust of the post wasn't about registering with SoundExchange, but about helping those bands on the unregistered list collect royalties due.  I don't see a direct contact for that on the SX website, but if you have one for that specific purpose, please post it.

I think Fred's point is an important one:  even if you don't want to contact an artist who's owed money directly, that artist should get paid - and if that means letting John Simpson know where that artist is located, I think it's well worth it.  I'd certainly disagree that just because he's the Director he shouldn't be contacted.

I've spoken to John and he's a very approachable man who has artist and rightsholders best interests at heart.  I'm guessing he might even be grateful to people who help reduce the 7,000+ artists still owed.</description>

		<description>Can I just say that John Simson is the Executive Director of SoundExchange...emailing him, as Fred Wilhelms advises, may not be the most efficient way to get your band or label registered with SoundExchange. A cursory glance over the SoundExchange website offers more pertinent contacts, whose daily responsibilities involve exactly this...not the CEO. Neeta@soundexchange.com and sgerman@soundexchange.com stand out particularly.</description>
