Snake Market Records “We Steal Hits, We Don’t Make Them” Lightweight T-shirt (no logo on bacc)

This isn’t just a shirt. It’s a warning label.

The black snake wrapped around the vinyl record represents the predators hidden in plain sight. The people and systems that smile in your face while circling your art, your creativity, and your future. Predatory contracts. Missing royalties. Publishing terms young artists never fully understood. Signatures that ended up costing more than they ever imagined.

The Snake Market Records design is a middle finger to industry greed and exploitation. It’s a reminder that talent alone isn’t enough - knowledge matters too.

Read every line in your contract. Understand every split. Know where your publishing goes. Know where your mechanical royalties go. Know where your foreign royalties go. Learn the difference between administration and ownership. Learn the difference between master rights and publishing rights. Know what you own, know what you signed, and know what rights you're giving away before you put your name on anything.

Too many artists leave money on the table because they never learned the business side. These snakes will take everything they can if you don't understand what you're agreeing to. They will use fake identities to claim what you haven't claimed. They will put claims on your publishing that you never signed away thinking you will never find out. Protect your rights. Protect your money. Protect your legacy.

Remain independent in thought. Don't trust anybody's word alone - verify everything. Protect your business. Protect your art. Protect your name. Care about your future and care about your legacy ... because nobody will care about it more than you.

Know U.S. copyright law.
Know your rights.
Get your money.
Keep snakes out your life.

This shirt is for the artists, producers, songwriters, and creators who learned that music is art... but the industry is business. And fucc all those bitch ass snake MF's.
