Dutchman 2,510 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I’m not a music attorney by any measure. But don’t Royalties stop or diminish after so many years? Our Hero’s are aging. They might need expensive cars and girlfriends! These are the times when you live everyday like it might be your last!! It might be!!

I don't know how that applies to corporate entities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Copyrights run out. The royalties remain the same until then. Television actors see diminishing payments for reruns. Years ago they got half of what they initially got paid when a show was first rerun, then half of that for the next rerun, then half of that, and so on. An appearance on Gilligan's Island or Star Trek now pays pennies per decade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Armitage 3,645 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I don't know about Star Trek, but the guys from Gilligan's Island have always said they got zero royalties... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zenmindbeginner 1,605 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) Wow... just wow. This is all about providing legacy income to future generations or a younger wife needing to maintain a “standard of living” well past the life of their provider spouse. That’s what the wealthy upper class do... give their future generations a “leg up” on their peers through generational wealth. Either way you slice it... he’s a hypocrite and a solid gold douche. He crafted his career through his integrity while generating his income and “value” as an artist based on this integrity. Yet when push came to shove, his integrity was an illusion and part of his stage act. Pathetic on all counts. I never owned any of his music... I couldn’t avoid it on the radio and my Dad’s 2nd wife loved his music so I was exposed to it through her during my childhood and teenage years. Dead Man is brilliant but I find it hard to believe he doesn’t get royalties from that soundtrack... it’s called living within your means... pay off your house(s), vehicles and invest in renewable and sustainable energy like solar panels to provide a low to no cost utility bill... build a greenhouse and a chicken coop... ALL of one’s future money problems when elderly can be easily solved through wise investment during one’s years earning a substantial income as a younger person. Young is a sell out... so are the other artists in the article. Fuck em’ all. Edited January 8 by zenmindbeginner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
