I dunno if "everywhere else in the world" has better healthcare, but yeah the U.S.'s system is pretty fucked up.

there's no way they're trying to cash in.if the guy was actually pretty rich then his family wouldn't bother risking their repuation for $20,000

"Currently, the statutory rate is $.08 for songs five minutes or less in length or $.0155 per minute for songs that are over five minutes long. So, for example, a song that is eight minutes long would earn $.124 for each recording sold."

"So, here is how it looks so far. Let's say a CD sells for $15. Right away we deduct 25% from that for packaging, which makes the royalty base $11.25. Now let's say our artist has a 10% royalty rate and that his CD sells one million copies. That sounds great! The artist would earn $1,125,000! Except 10% of those were actually freebies, so we really have to calculate that royalty based on 900,000, which makes the royalty $1,012,500, and of course, there are few costs we haven't talked about yet. "


 

OK, so let's assume that he earned the equivalent of an average professional, like a teacher or a doctor. If he can't afford hospital bills with that kind of a wage then instead of donating money to pay his bills maybe a better option would be to start a riot on capitol hill demanding reasonable healthcare at an affordable price.

Either way, forget all the numbers, the politics, and everything else here. If people want to donate, cool. If not, cool. Thanks for posting the original post and bringing this to our attention.

I was never agreeing with him, I was explaining that even though White Pony is a platinum album, it is a decade old, and the millions of dollars which it may have generated in income has probably been swallowed up by record label overhead and then split up between the band, the managers and the crew, and bass players get shit in that line up.. I was agreeing with you entirely
