Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I don't know where you got that "both" from.
Regular people don't get royalties for their work either. Factory workers who assemble ovens don't get a cut from each meal a restaurant cooks, for example. Those filthy rich musicians, Hollywood actors, etc. keep leaving out that they've already been paid millions for their work. They leave out that they sold the publishing rights to record companies. They act as if they earned less than you and me. They are doing absolutely fine. No need to fight for a right to better royalties or anything like that. If they need more money, they can just make new music.
