When is an E-Royalty not a Royalty?
Oct. 5th, 2010 01:59 pmWhen the 9th Circuit Court says it isn't. This is music, but it might as well be novels -- and probably will be, soon. If I was making good money from my books at 25% royalty, I'd be pushing for License -- especially if it's only available in one format. Hard to say it is NOT a License, then.
