I’m not complaining but just wondered who makes the money from people downloading it. Obviously not MK. Good job he’s stinking rich. Not so good for new artists.

Yes, the Artist gets a small percentage of earnings in most cases if it's not the crowdfunding platform of some sorts. I remember putting my work on Shutterstock and other stock photos websites, and even though you took the picture (or shot the video), you edited it, you trimmed it, uploaded it, named it, provided it with proper tags and stuff, Shutterstock shamelessly takes 70% of royalties. Unbelievable numbers for when you do 99% of the work. But they need to keep their Empire State Building office up I guess.

Generally speaking, numbers from all these publishing platforms are so low you might as well just ignore it or put "the earnings" in your piggy bank.

Don't get it, what is this site supposed to say?


Sound recording royalties rights of the songs listed in that site were sold by Ed Bicknell to create the investment fund and Spotify (and all the others) pays to  sound recording rightsholders   6 times more than to composition rightsholders

I remember that someone posted the info here when they were still on sale. You missed probably it.

I remember asking myself if I should buy a small symbolic share
But money calls for money, and to get ROI you need to invest a lot. Small invest generally turns into being eaten by the fees you have to support, and it would have costed me way more than I invested even if the aim was not to be a millionaire from it... I don't remember who said "the best way not to loose money is to be profitable" or "benefits are addition, deficits are multiplication".

Is it kind of related to pyroman?

The music is good on these tracks but the lyrics are not-very-funny jokes and it right that they are relegated to B-Sides.

My Parties should have gone that way too...

Heavy Fuel too for all I care, musically and lyrically.

Not really clever enough to stand up to repeated listenings, unlike, say, MFN which is a funny song.

Your posts usually sound as if they were Holy Writ. Adding an "IMO" once in a while helps a lot.
