Artists' profit from copyrights
Author: Seth Gordon Posted: 9/5/2000; 6:55:50 AM Topic: Artists' profit from copyrights Msg #: 20866 Prev/Next: 20865 / 20867
How much revenue from copyright royalties do artists (writers, composers, musicians, photographers) get? I'm interested in aggregate figures for the US economy as a whole, not revenue per book/CD/whatever. Also, I want to distinguish between, say, the income that a writer receives as a salary from a newspaper and the income that s/he receives as royalties from publishin a book.When discussing alternatives to the current intellectual property system, having this figure handy would be a useful data point.
