I saw a German guy...in Germany playing Madden on twitch last week. Lol he happened to be using the Vikings.
I stuck around and chatted since my family history is German

Stadiums, bars, restaurants, concert venues, etc. and so on all pay a Yearly Blanket License fee that's determined by the size of the venue and approximate attendance.

Those fees are dumped into the Allocated Funds fee (which last year was over $900 million for ASCAP alone), then those funds are distributed based on complex algorithms that include a once a quarter survey, TV Cue Sheets, Radio Play, Top Charting songs, etc. and so on.

If a Gary Glitter or Rolling Stones or Metallica, et al, is played on the day of the Survey (which happens once a month), a royalty would be distributed but the amount for playing a song even five times during a 3 hour period for 8 games a year would be pennies on the dollar.

In other words, we're talking peanuts.

My publishing BMI was like $27 last qtr.

My writer's share??

$7 and some change

This is untrue as well.

Gary Glitter never owned his publishing. His publishing is own by Universal Music Publishing (when he signed, it was MCA).

Glitter is entitled to 100% of his writer's share of performance and mechanicals but not publishing. IIRC, he didn't sign a Co-Publishing deal, which would have given him 50% of the Publishing revenues but a standard publishing deal, which is 50/50 or technically, 100/100.

There ya go.

That doesn't make sense, unless you're acting as the Publisher for songs that you didn't compose.

I'm not the only songwriter in my band, that is correct.

I'm co-writer on roughly 60% of Driving Wheel's tunes and there's a project that a buddy and I co-wrote some tunes on and some that he is sole writer on that are ran through my publishing company.

Brits Don't Want the Redskins?

Yeah, and toothbrushes, too.

And the Greeks don't want no Freaks

First time I heard that song, I thought the record had skipped coming out of 'Teenage Jail'.

And AC/DC 'Big Balls>Rocker" - my cousin recorded Who Made Who and Dirty Deeds for me on a TDK C-90 cassette, and I thought there was a tape glitch.

Ahhh...I loved listening to music when I was a kid. No point...just wanted to share.

Yep, the irony of this is immeasurable.

Weren't the English the Red Coats?

They can go pound some fish and chips up their stove pipe

Bloody well right, those limey bastards can go flog a cod!!
