Nowadays it is so difficult to remain adequate.
So I want to ask, dear, how long will we endure all this.
Never such a thing and here again.

I’ve had experiences with publishers inputting incorrect writer percentages into their systems, failing to invoice vendors for synchs, failing to collect from vendors on synch fees, failing to accurately report revenue that was received, and flat out losing checks that were sent to them.

It sounds like your podcast is focusing on TV and film royalties in foreign countries. I know there is a lot of corruption at PROs worldwide, but it’s a publisher’s responsibility to have boots on the ground in each territory comprised of knowledgable and connected individuals in those countries to find and collect the monies owed.

There are companies that do it better than others (Wixen Music comes to mind). Publishing is the most complicated sector of the music business and the least sexy. Investing not only in software but also human expertise and intelligence is the key to collecting all the revenue out there. From what I’ve seen over the years, most publishers are lacking in both.
