Overview
Millions of aspiring artist, seek to become the next star but they have no idea of
how to survive the business. No one will admit that copyrights are worthless and
that well-connected individuals use influence and money to dominate and to steal
lives.
We prepare and fully equip our consumers regarding the tactics and methods used
considered 'standard' practice by most professionals. From the Gatekeepers, to
contract and to the courts, we address every aspect of doing business and how to
survive it.
Although legally established in February 2013, Seven West Productions was
originally created in Michigan, April 1995 as a music production company under a
Co-Publishing agreement with major music publishing company named Zomba
Music Group/Jive Records. It was then placed within Universal Music Publishing
Group, becoming the world's largest music publishing business.
Lovelace was the co-writer of the song, "What Can I Say to You (to Justify My Love)"
for the artist Hi-Fives, for which credit was given to secure contract. As a writer and
lyricist, Lovelace wrote and submitted lyrics and melodies for many songs to which
she never received credit.
Instead of administering her publishing by securing copyrights and ensuring that
her works were protected, the major publishing company neglected all their
contractual obligations. She was forced to listen to her ‘gutted’ lyrics and melodies
on the radio as they topped the charts, without receiving royalties or credit.
However, what they didn't count on was that she had secured copyrights, kept
time-stamped journals and maintained all related documentation.
SWP, LLC has compiled a set of books which shed light on the darkest side of Big
Business and the ‘System’ that profits. Licensing rights are available in your region
for controversial publications expose major corruption, abuse of power, privacy
violations, rape, bullying, etc.
It is through these titles that Lovelace has an opportunity to shed light on the
tactics that are used to deprive rights, manipulate events which are used to
facilitate public support. These publications provide detailed proof of corruption
and collusion.
We are seeking a partner(s) who will see the not only the financial value in
supporting this business venture but also recognize the potential to positively
impact the lives of many. There are millions of new aspiring artist each year who
are submitting their demo's and seeking to become the next 'shining star!' It is our
goal to reach every one of them, every year with our informational and educational
products to ensure that they are fully equipped to survive the ‘business.’
We are seeking partners who possess the resources and the experienced required
to launch this kind of controversial business idea to show our competitors that we
mean business...BIG BUSINESS!

This title discusses judicial misconduct and ‘obstruction of justice’ and deprivation of
rights at the hands of the courts and its clerks. Tile includes actual physical evidence and
proof of deliberate deprivation of rights, editing, withholding, modifying filings and
disregarding its own court’s rules and procedures.
Although many have protected themselves in every way, many artist, writers and
producers have been denied the opportunity to even pursue their claims and are forced
to fight for their rights.
This book uses personal experience from direct association with major music industry
personnel, contracts with major music publisher to demonstrate the entire process used
to steal lives. This book is not just for the aspiring artists but it is also for those who are
interested in learning how the world actually operates.
For decades we have all heard about many artists not receiving compensation but the
first thing you think is one of the following:
1. They did not have their copyrights or they failed to protect their work...Or

Goals
Although the unethical practices are not limited to any single industry, even after
providing solid evidence of unethical business practices, secured copyrights in
response to copyright infringements and contracts, the standard response was to
attempt to discredit, induce suicide and to intimidate.
The entire process facilitates betrayal, initiates competition among its
writers/producers and battles for royalties. If you manage to survive, the
aforementioned is followed by some subhuman offer consisting of less than slave
wages, meant to minimize the damage and avoid true accountability.
As a small company, it has been easy for those in positions and who would be
negatively impacted by our products and programs to deliberately hinder while
inducing unfair competition as is demonstrated in the M ilestones section under
Overcoming Opposition.
It has become customary to vilify, discredit and deter support for any individual
who threatens or interferes with ‘Big Business’ and its profits. I n competition,
sometimes there is the use malicious means to gain an unfair advantage such as
making a direct attack against a competitor or misleading the public to the
detriment of a competitor.
Our Goal is to afford many others the opportunity to utilize our undeniably,
unquestionable publications which clearly provides insight to the inner workings of
a corrupt ‘machine’ designed to dehumanize and vilify for both, profit and revenge.
When conducting business, it is more difficult to bully a group of investors than it is
to bully a small publishing company. It would be more of a challenge for an entire
industry to attempt to thwart multiple entities from pursuing their business interest
through simultaneous or regional campaigns.
Many writers and publishers share their experience and life story for the benefit of
future generations. Imagine how many lives would be positively affected if given
the opportunity to learn what to look for in their contracts or how many works
should be submitted to their publisher…
Our goal is to reach target audiences worldwide who would benefit from the
valuable information, unlike any other in it class. There are no other publications
that will provide proof of the entire process by utilizing contracts, journals, public
records, copyrights and court documents.
1. Nonfiction, True Crime Genre
2. Aspiring Artist, Writers and Producers
3. Legal, Court, Corruption Enthusiast
One title specifically designed to walk the reader through the initial, emotionally
gripping experience; from the excitement of working with local producers, to the
grueling betrayal of family and friend...to the battle with a corrupt judicial system.
One title targets our youthful, aspiring artist by providing answers that address the
entry level artist endeavors from being properly aligned, to what should not be in
the contract…As the years progress, each year there will be a new generation of
youth aspiring to learn the intricate details; thus, ensuring continued sales.
During the first few years, by offering our publications that provide a step-by-step
guide to avoiding the pitfalls when seeking a career in music..It is our goal to create
awareness while establishing our company as the authority on the tactics and
methods of the business.
Another title is divided into two parts, that dedicates every page toward exposing
the blatant judicial misconduct that allows those in positions and money to operate
with impunity while rewarding unethical practices. These title provide physical
documentation that confirm the courts/clerks deliberately deprive rights and that
they violate their own Judicial rules and procedures at will.
Our goal is to prove that there is greater profit in conducting business forthright,
than by using unethical practices, deceit, intimidation and violence.
Studies revealed that there is opportunities both; domestic and abroad.
“ According to the IPA, after the US, the next four countries — China, Germany, Japan,
and the UK — in combination comprise another 30% of the global publishing market:
China has 10%, Germany 9%, Japan 7%, and the UK roughly 4%. The remainder of the
global publishing Top 10 — France with 4%, Italy 3%, Spain 3%, Brazil 2%, and India 2%
— between them add up to another 15%. Thus 10 countries make up 75% of global sales
of books of all formats, with the US alone just about equal to the the next 4 combined.”
“The United Kingdom is the only other country whose ebook adoption rates even come
close. The ebook markets of China, Germany, Japan, where print book sales are larger
than the UK’s — and of France and Italy, whose print book sales are close to the UK’s —
are still relatively nascent.”

Big business and the music industry. A
s Rights Holder, we seek to grant exclusive or
nonexclusive rights to specified publisher/investors, subject to the terms hereof
and subject further to any compulsory license which may be granted pursuant to

All that is required is to rebrand, repackage and market these products effectively
on a global scale. Due to these publications conflict with billion dollar industries , it
has been difficult navigating through opposition. As a small publisher, I have been
unable to successfully break through to reach my target audience. However, this
does not negate this project.

Milestones
Seven West Productions, LLC has also compiled a set of publications which are like
no other books that will provide extensive knowledge regarding their process. Our
concern is to ensure the availability of our products for decades to come.
I. Overcoming Opposition
1. Our programs and publications expose major corruption, abuse of
power, privacy violations, conflicting with the goals of a billion-dollar
industry, w
e have faced major opposition and experienced multiple
unfair trade practices and unfair competition which has greatly
affected our ability to reach sales goals.
2. We have been able to maintain our day to day function; however, due
to budget constraints, we have been unable to adequately promote
and market our products.
3. During our early stages, we used the standard methods to publish;
such as, Amazon, Google Books, eBay, lulu and kobo’s POD but these
The good news is that as the Rights Holder, exclusive distributor and publisher for
all nonfictional works...we are authorized to grant license, assign cost and maintain
all offers.
Examples of Opposition:
It is through one of the largest providers of ebooks and POD third party sellers, that
controversial nonfiction titles are hindered.
Clearly, someone has been having fun:
One seller has our title listed for $0.78…
(According to all outlets...no sales reported, so how can there be used copies?)
Another seller has it listed for $33,418.88...(really?)
All Time Sales Amazon...so how is there listing for used sellers?
Google search shows our $19.99 dollar book for 0.99 cents...
Third party sellers are able to list any titles for sale, make a mockery of your titles
and flood the market; thereby, reducing your opportunities for business.
By removing our titles from LSI and Amazon.com, we regain control over our
products.
This kind of opposition only confirms that the information provided in these titles
merit interest; especially, when methods are used to deter...
III. Marketing
7. We’ve been able to increase our social awareness through the use of
social media outlets, comic strips, networking, educational blogs and
multiple websites. By using a couple of media outlets, our numbers
have surged from a mere 2,000 visitors to over 130,000 visitors in less
than two years.
8. As of May 2016, there have been over 392, 535 visitors. These
numbers reflect that our additional efforts utilizing comic strips and
articles directed toward aspiring artist, writers and producers have
generated major interest in our topics and products. This is
confirmation that there is a market audience and that the need for our
products are great.
9. An intellectual property rights strategy is an effective instrument that
can facilitate a successful business. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
themselves are important for determining the success of a business. In
this scenario, the significance of IPR for a startup cannot be
over-emphasized. More often than not, startups are hotspots of
innovation and emerging technologies. Streamlining the system of
protection of their innovations will be an important value addition to
their business strategy.

IV. Summary
After reading any of the titles provided by us, potential customers will have access
to some of the horrors experienced by victims of the industry. I can honestly say
that they will be able to recognize the traps and avoid becoming subjected.
Our products and publications use contracts with major music publisher,
copyrights, and court records to demonstrate tactics used to steal, oppress and
destroy lives. I am certain that after being made aware of the tactics and methods,
our customers will be equipped to recognize contract flaws, copyright issues and
other possible legal conflicts.
Being that the music industry affects so many and it is a part of everyone’s life -
from politics to religion...people should be aware of its effects on society!
Most people simply assume that artist just sign bad deals that allow producers or
managers to take everything but this is not always the case. Many aspiring artist,
writers and producers are being denied the opportunity to even seek or pursue
their claims of conflict of interest and copyright infringements because of blatant
corruption. Instead, their plight to obtain justice is hindered and events are
manipulated that turn their lives into a spectacle.
Yes, although many have protected themselves in every way, many artist, writers
and producers have been denied the opportunity to even pursue their claims and
are forced to fight for their rights.
Take advantage of the opportunity to purchase licensing rights to these
publications, TODAY!
Full Description:
For decades we have all heard about many artists not receiving compensation but the
first thing you think is one of the following: 1. They did not have their copyrights or they
failed to protect their work…Or 2. They did not have legal representation…Or 3. You
may actually believe that the individual was at fault…. Or 4. You may think they it would
never happen to you….I used to think this was the case but I was so WRONG!
Although many have protected themselves in every way, many artist, writers and
producers have been denied the opportunity to even pursue their claims and are forced
to fight for their rights. This book uses personal experience from direct association with
major music industry personnel, contracts with major music publisher. This book is not
just for the aspiring artists but it is also for those who are interested in learning how the
world actually operates.
Not only can your life be stolen but these same entities can also ensure your
enslavement by depriving you of legal representation. In most cases, the attorneys are
not likely to represent you against majors so as to not jeopardize future business
dealings.
These same entities will block, hinder and interfere with any assistance by manipulating
events that vilify anyone who opposes. These events usually include violence, betrayal
and further dehumanization. What's worse is that there is a majority of people with
access that will assist either by action or inaction for any given ‘reason’ or 'justification.'
This book calls attention to the events that lead to major entities being exposed, corruption, greed,
lies, hypocrisy and even murder – past to present!
“According to Michigan Department of Corrections, the Author’s father, Robert Heard, was convicted
of murdering a Detroit Police Officer, Stanley Rapaski and the bar owner, Cass Czerwinski.
I wonder if Cass Czerwinski, the bar owner’s family were influential, powerful people that could keep
their names out of the press because it took a lot of research just to find the name.
I can’t help but wonder if Czerwinski is related to Democratic Representative Joseph C. Czerwinski.
It is clear that there are entities utilizing great and powerful influence; who work at great lengths to
prevent resolution and to deter any real assistance.”
In this book you will learn about actual individuals who are connected to the major music publishing
companies that profit and who yields power; such as, Paul Katz.
Katz alleges to have interest in Artists Rights; however, it was under his reign at Zomba, that all
kinds of allegations of copyrights infringement were happening to their writers, IN HOUSE….
It was Zomba’s own contracted writer(s) who was being subjected to alleged copyrights
infringement. These infringements were followed by intimidation tactics, violence, and much more….
what hypocrisy!
Everyone who is in a position of addressing the many atrocities that have been forced on individuals,
seek to present themselves as upstanding, decent, law-abiding citizens who actually care about civil
rights and human rights; yet, they turn a blind eye and continue to profit from the violence, like it’s a
sport. While the Artists/Songwriter’s name is sullied and drug through the figurative ‘mud,’ those who
profit, hide. They pretend to separate themselves from the inhumane treatment and dehumanization
of many who fall a victim to a ‘system’ that vilifies ANY who would call attention to the truth.
Learn about how every resource and outlet is used in an effort to initiate hardship on those who
insist on exercising their rights while discouraging their desire to seek resolution as if to say, ‘Let it
go!’ ‘We do this to everyone so there is no hope…’
Learn the entire process which demonstrates egregious intent to influence a sense of hopelessness.
When the smell of violence was fresh and ‘street justice’ was being used inflict further damage, the
initial response from professionals (both, legal and official) was, “(We) can’t help you…”
Any legal professional is clearly aware that there are no ‘statutes of limitations’ on civil rights
violations; yet, it has become customary for the Artist/Writers to be disregarded when it is time to
share in the profits…Doesn’t that sounds like a form of slavery!
Everyone has a story but the atrocities that have been allowed to continue blatantly will shock even
the most weathered individual…
Again, this book is not just for the aspiring artists and songwriters but is also beneficial for those who
are interested in learning how the world that you live in actually operates.
In addition to downloading your copy, you should have a printed copy for your bookshelf!

Description:

the ‘game’ and how it ultimately affects others.
The documentation provided along with my personal experiences shared in this book

Like animals circling its prey, victims are surrounded, stalked, studied and set-up.
Like lambs led to slaughter, you won’t realize the severity of your situation until you are
knee deep in a ‘storm’ of backstabbing friends, oppressing family members, snaking
strangers.
This book was derived from an Artist/Songwriter’s personal experiences with major
music publishers and are derived from actual events, please visit:

SELLER’S PROFILE
These titles reflect the entire process and expose the atrocities from the start of a career in
music to the battle with corruption and abuse of power that destroy lives. Everyone has a
story but the atrocities that have been allowed to continue blatantly will shock even the
most weathered individual.
It is through these titles that Lovelace has an opportunity to shed light on the tactics that
are used to deprive rights, manipulate events which are used to facilitate public support.
These publications provide detailed proof of corruption and collusion.
If your loved one shows serious interest in a career in music, you are right to be concerned.
Most people who are interested in the business are very determined. I would not try to
outright deter them because you may risk alienating yourself. I would focus on encouraging
them to learn the tactics and methods used by most industry personnel spanning from the
bottom to the top..
The book shows how those in the industry literally infiltrate the lives of its victims in an
effort to gain their trust. Befriending them is a part of the process to determine their
weaknesses. These Gatekeepers are not going to simply walk others through the door to a
successful career without taking everything.
Although you can not make anyone heed your warning, you can choose to be there for
them. If they keep heading down that path, they're going to need you and these
publications. Unlike other titles, these books provide unquestionable proof of corruption,
supporting documentation which demonstrates unethical behavior, deliberate and willful
gross misconduct.
Please consider that the information on these blogs, websites and titles are also in direct
conflict with multiple entities and groups.
After signing Co-Publishing agreement, there were multiple copyright infringements across
multiple major record labels but even with copyrights, all legal assistance was denied.
These titles are presented through this artist/writer’s eyes while experiencing multiple
tragedies and events. Emotionally charged, this title clearly expresses the pain and anger of
being betrayed, sacrificed and scorned. Inside, are the actual documentation and files used
to demonstrate some of the tactics used to steal artist lives, deny rights and enslave the
artist. This title is compiled using personal journals, public records, contracts, copyrights
and other documentation which demonstrates how it is allowed to continue.
Learn about how every resource and outlet is used in an effort to initiate hardship on those
who insist on exercising their rights while discouraging their desire to seek resolution as if
to say, 'Let it go!' 'We do this to everyone so there is no hope...'
Learn the entire process which demonstrates egregious intent to influence a sense of
hopelessness. When the smell of violence was fresh and 'street justice' was being used
inflict further damage, the initial response from professionals (both, legal and official) was,
"(We) can't help you..."
We have developed multiple intertwined, products and programs that expose unethical
practices and that are both, beneficial and profitable. We offer others the opportunity to
utilize our invaluable products through our licensing rights options.
Thank you for your consideration,
Tiwanda Lovelace
