Nothing new ... in either the new model or the old model.
Here in LA LA land there's a bar called 'Residuals' if you bring in a residual or re-use check under a dollar you get a free drink. The bar's been here since the 70s. I've gotten more than one free drink at that bar. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Write songs.
Keep your publishing. And yes, play live ... actually, play live in somebody else's band and make sure they pay you -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

In the documentary Heartworn Highways, I recall the legendary Townes Van Zant receiving a royalty check from I think his Swedish record sales and it was something like 39c. His response was 'Well I guess I won't be touring there anytime soon'!

Again nothing new to me. I can't remember the exact figures but DaftPunk had a massive multimillion selling international hit last year. It generated 10s of millions of plays on spotify and their performance royalties was a pitance and they weren't even paying back an advance to a label.

Hah, that's both sad and funny at the same time, but still not surprising the way the music business has been going.
