I was looking at my current BMI statement. Most of my successful songs were when I was with ASCAP so they collect for those (I'll have to look those up too...) but here's the payment I received for the three songs that BMI collected payment for from Pandora
87,682 plays = $1.52
For those counting, that equals .00001734 cents per stream. MUUUUCH less than they claim they pay. Sad thing is, even if they paid 100 times as much, it would only be $100.52...

I didn't mean that in a smartass way, just - we're screwed... no probs.. when I first read it.. that was what I thought... but then in a millisecond I remembered the one and only rule of RGO and thought.. nah.... 8) the funny thing is.. even if they paid you EXACTLY what they reckon they do.. its still a joke. cheers Wiz |

German musician's joke (hope it translates o.k. ...)
"I got my collector's check."
"And what will you do with the money?"
"I'll go out for a burger."
"And the rest?"
"My mom will pay the rest."
But really...
... not funny it became reality in the meantime, literally. (...at least for streaming services...)

Sorry to hear(read) that John, it's shameful we're treated that way.
