No i mean to put out a legitimate mixtape or any cd there are legal things to take care of. If your just makin this for your friends then u wouldnt care but if your going to sell these all over the place you might want to do it legally... or not. thats what im asking.

^^^ exactly, and get it all in writing. Get everyone that has any part in making the cd to sign a contract explaining what you're allowed to do with their contribution and what they get in return.
