@ajsadauskas @music
One wonders at a software bug that affects one band owed nine figures from decades ago.
@pomCountyIrregs @music "Accidentally".
Just out of curiousity, has PCI ever been signed to a record label?
Do you see much in the way of royalties from the likes of Spotify or YouTube?
And do artists get much of a cut through Bandcamp?
@ajsadauskas @music
I think Bandcamp and Apple are fair for cuts of sales.
Spotify (ptui) won’t pay us–too few streams.
We’re less than obscure. We sell under 10 units, mostly from Bandcamp, and we get about three streams per day over our library. We’d need 3 per day per track for us to earn something under $3 from Spotify (ptui).
In our best year, about $10 from streamers.
@ajsadauskas @music No, no, no, not even close.
But I started in the 80s and had a close friend who did well as agent and then manager, so I learned a thing or two from a distance.
He passed away in 2019, so my limited access to inside dope is even more so.
I also read, when I was younger, biographies and memoirs from artists and suits, so that gave me a glimpse.
