We, the signing artists, defend against a forced signing of changed contract conditions between Jamendo and its musicians by blocking the access to our admin areas. Our contracts include free access to these admin areas, even the new contract contains a passage "Artists may withdraw all or part of their Works at any time, through their Artist Account.". Registered artists have to be allowed to remove their music and accounts in case of not agreeing with these changed contract conditions. We urge Jamendo to open the admin areas by June 29th at the latest. Wir, die unterzeichnenden Künstler, wehren uns gegen geänderte Vertragsbedingungen zwischen Jamendo und seinen Musikern, deren Annahme durch eine Blockade des Administrationszuganges eines Künstlers erzwungen werden soll. Unsere Verträge sehen einen freien Zugang zu diesen Bereichen vor, auch der neue Vertrag enthält einen Passus, der besagt: "Künstler dürfen Teile oder alle ihre Arbeiten jederzeit über ihr Künstlerkonto entfernen". Den Künstlern muss es möglich sein, bei Ablehnung der geänderten Vertragsbedingungen ihre Musik und ihre Konten von Jamendo zu entfernen. Wir fordern Jamendo dringend auf, die Administrationsbereiche bis spätesten 29. Juni zu öffnen.

Jamendo continues to lock us out of our dashboards to force our hand on these new contract terms. I am currently reaching out to legal contacts to see how we can escalate this formal demand. Send a quick email to their support team today letting them know they cannot cut off access to our own work.

The momentum behind this push is real and it shows that Jamendo cannot simply ignore our rights. Now is the time to escalate our pressure by emailing the support team directly with a link to this petition. Tell them to unlock our accounts immediately.

This is totally unfair. How can they just lock us out of our own accounts? Need to be able to pull my tracks if I dont like the new terms.

Unacceptable behavior from a platform that is supposed to help artists. Let us manage our own work!

Ridiculous power move. Give us our access back NOW.
