:what: you know how hard it is to actually write books... the fact remains yes books are a different medium than music but I don't want my kids to get screwed look at the family that sold their rights to the godfather the movie studio screwed them over and they had to sue them to get royalties off it.

Who's to say my kids wont make a billy from my works I'd be proud but let's be real here every time we hear about Estates and a musicians family it's fukking bad news where the family is getting screwed over by the music labels because they stop at nothing to have these catalogs... it seems that the family doesn't see the importance of a recurring royalty check that passed down through the generations...:ld:

And lastly you don't BUY your rights to the novel if your the author, once you copyright them under your own name YOU OWN IT until the time of death...:stopitslime:
I really don’t get what you are saying. I’m comparing your example to reasoning behind the estate moving EMI and ATV.

What royalty check? Whose? They didn’t own peoples royalties they were co-owners of a publish company.

fukk...fukk...fukk The publishing ended up going back to these damn blood sucking devils in the long run. Everything Micheal did was all for naught in the end. If I was to ever gain an absurd amount of Fixed and Intangible assets I'd put my brothers on my trust or my sons.

This is not news that I wanted to hear.
