Hello. Lately, I have been putting plans together to start an online-based record label 
(similar to DFTBA Records; entirely online-based). My record label would be called 
Vitriform Records, and it would be a division of Prosomawi Media. You may have already seen my 
media service, Prosomawi Media:

It will be a division of Prosomawi that publishes music. I will mostly publish music for people I 
know. The reason I'm calling Vitriform an online record label is because the disks won't be 
distributed widely (like major, and some indie, record labels). This would be completely indie; 
if you want the CD, you have to order it right from Vitriform's website. Well, call me naive, but 
what would I do to make sure that my fellow media music-makers get a proper cut of the pay? And 
what would I do to process customers' credit (or other payment) information? How do I process that 
stuff, and how would I go about processing the address so I can ship it? Haven't decided if I should 
directly do it via email, or if I should have the customers fill out a Paypal form.
