There is one company that gets ahold of all the records of recently filed copyrights on songs and sends out letters to the writers/composers telling them how great their song is and offering to help them get cuts. They proceed to con the writers into overpaying for demos and then they send a few of the demos out to major record labels who toss unsolicited submissions into the garbage can unopened. If they ever get sued, they have an argument that they fulfilled all the terms of their agreement with the poor suckers they conned.
