 DGM does not require that its artists sign written contracts . Former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones said , " It 's pure trust , " and noted that " there are dangers on both sides . I could have a successful album and just sign with a major , or they could decide not to pay me . " Jones explained that he was accustomed to " working in situations that do rely on trust and integrity , those old @-@ fashioned words " because Led Zeppelin had no contract with its manager . Another DGM band , alternative rock group The Rosenbergs , opted to work with the label following conflicts with their previous label Universal Records , which had even demanded control of the band 's domain name : in contrast , DGM had encouraged them to retain control of their own master recordings and provided them with funds for touring and promoting their album .
