from AZ was asked to sign a contract for his vocal and lyric contributions on the verses, the outro vocal and one chorus. The contract is said to have shared one quarter copyright credit with the other contributors; those included Tommy Lee, Chad Kroger, and Clint Lowery. Members are also often asked of their opinions towards determinations on how the site is to be molded and used. Members that sign up can produce visual interpretations or feature performances of themselves performing their musical interpretations or remixes by uploading in a variety of audio/video formats (mp3 mpeg, avi, divx, mp4, flv, wmv, rm, mov, moov, asf) hosting to either YouTube.com/ or the publicrecord.com servers. Users are then able to promote their interpretations or works on their member profile page as well as on other sections within the site. The site is broken down into many facets of featured content including a member created forum area where volunteers are moderators. Each major artist is featured with their own section on the website which incorporates tools and instructions for interacting on projects. In February 2011, an addition to the site called TPR Beats was made featuring free downloads of mixed drum stems at varied BPM that serve as a basis for creating original member works with the aspiration of generating interest from publishing companies for possible licensing opportunities and profit in the areas of TV, movies, trailers, commercials, video games or web media. Submissions being uploaded in this section are covered under the CC, Creative Commons licenses. Sponsors also have a News & Review stream featuring content of the latest of product related news within the industry. The Public Record is a Can-Spam compliant site as mandated by the Federal Trade Commission. Frank Gryner announced the staffs decision to close TPR indefinitely on 4/1/12, citing technical and resource challenges.
