Will Bystrov Editorial/Mograph Reel 2010 **updated**

In my opinion, yes it's a waste of time. Many artists and companies use unlicensed music on their reels. Typically, the only times a company has avoided doing so is when they're playing in the big leagues, or when they just don't know any better. Worst case senario; a record company will send you a letter telling you to switch out the tracks. There's about a 1% chance that would ever even happen on a demo reel. You might also hear people occasionally tell you that companies who are hiring look down on reels with copy-written music on it. In my opinion, that's complete BS. No company does that. 8 of 10 times, people couldn't care less about your resume or what school you went to, let alone whether or not you paid for the music that's on your reel. They just want to see your work.
