Having not worked in the music retail industry I am unsure of my facts here, but my understanding of it is that the artist's cut is the same whatever the price paid. If you get it cheaper from a particular retailer, surely it is that retailer's profit that is cut, not the artist's royalty payment? Then again, what the hell do I know about it? ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2003 12:35:14 +0100 From: matt.harkness@bt.com Subject: RE: seven-seas Re: CDWOW >That's an Oxy moron Ken you dozy twat!!!!!

This is the typical way royalties are handled -- on per-unit-sold basis -- but in theory *anything* could be written into an artist's contract, to include net earnings. This is the way Hollywood screws over many of its employees -- they artificially manipulate the numbers to ensure that a given movie will technically be a loss, and therefore avoid paying royalties. However, I'm unaware of this practice in the music biz. Besides, if we all mailed Mac a couple of pound notes, would it be tax-free? In the US, gifts up to $10,000 per person *giving the gift* are tax-free. If you can find 100 people to give you that cash, you've just made a tax-free million dollars. So... I do wonder, which would mean more to Mac at this point, buying for chart position (and how much could his fans realistically influence that?) or having more money? :-) - --Amy ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2003 16:12:39 +0100 From: matt.harkness@bt.com Subject: RE: seven-seas Slideling >Besides, if we all mailed Mac a couple of pound notes, would it be >tax-free? um....if you did send them to him they'd be worthless anyway........we haven't had pound notes for YEARS! ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2003 10:18:38 -0500 (CDT) From: amyr@jump.net (Amy Moseley Rupp) Subject: Re: seven-seas Slideling > >Besides, if we all mailed Mac a couple of pound notes, would it be > >tax-free? > > um....if you did send them to him they'd be worthless anyway........we > haven't had pound notes for YEARS! ACK! Of course! (sigh) Dollar bills. I'm sure they spend :-) I wouldn't think mailing the pound coins would be very effective ;-) - --Amy ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2003 08:22:26 -0600 From: "K.
