Why do they think they deserve any cut? by skip 07/21/2013, 3:52pm PDT
It's rich to see the guy who wrote 40% of a moderate hit song 20 years ago is bitching that he "only" gets $16 bucks a month. Why should he get more? Pandora's already paying out the ass to the band and label and still is in the red. It's obvious that consumers don't place as high a value on music as the industry thought and aren't willing to pay that much for it, if it all. Any attempt to try has just pushed people to piracy. What's really funny is that if copyright laws were remotely sane, that song would be close to being in the public domain. Drugs lose their patent after like seven years, but write half of a shitty song and you get royalties for life.
