After reading laws on music copyright, Paul says, "Ok, now show me the money!"
Paul, our fictional music composer here, is one of a kind. "Show me the money" is a great thing to ask, but not all composers do that! I pray this blog will help music composers realize how much money they can lose when they don't ask that question.
There's another word for "money" in music copyright parlance. It's called royalties.
Because Paul has written a hit song, Paul shall see that royalties goes to his bank account in two ways: one-time and recurring.
