JPF Home Page Forums General Messages Songwriter Message Forum royalties for musicians?

I think that musicians deserve payment when they do demos and then the songs winds up being on a commercial recording / cd release.

I hope Mike Dunbar will explain more fully how this works, but in general, my understanding is that under the terms for Nashville union musicians, they charge only a small amount for demo work, but if that music is later put on a commerical cd, they are entitled to some additional payment depending on how many cd's are made. (This applies, for example, to the demo derby redordings).
