Introducing: Online Piracy Protection
The Music Man Online is proud to introduce Online Privacy Protection, its latest online solution that aims to deter the illegal downloading and leaking of popular music on the web.
The creation of a studio album is an extremely involved process; from the countless hours spent on production and recording, to the brains behind the artwork and marketing, a ton of time and energy is poured into each and every project. When music leaks on the web, album sales are negatively impacted, ultimately affecting those behind it. Hire The Music Man Online to work closely with websites, blogs, and online file storage sites to take down your precious copyrighted material as soon as it pops up. Whether it’s a single or a full-length album, we make sure your music stays out of the alleyways of the world wide web and on the shelves.
Inquire about our Photo & Video Protection services too.

This isn’t the first time he’s reached such a feat; his debut album, In My Own Words reached #1 it’s first week with 301,000 albums sold. This time around he did 255,000.
