Royalties for the dead?
I am a song writer and jazz guitarist in the Jazz idiom.(Awesomeargos.com)
Having recently produced and recorded my first disk under my own name i can ask honestly why i had to pay D'jango and Goodman money and just how do they receive the funds? I know as a musician that the record company executives are all gODS but how do they compensate a man who has been dead for over 50 years and why do i have to pay him when he has free rent and no taxes where he is now!
Now don't get me wrong. I like the notion of helping the loved ones of a newly deceased artist however when the kids hit the age of 40 or so don't you think that they should be ready for their first job?
