You want Honesty? Even the Churches are guilty of screwing the poor songwriter (if you want to call it that).
Case-in-point. When I first moved to Nashville I had met Kris Kristofferson and his song "WHY ME LORD?" Had been a recent big, big hit for him. I told him that I bet he had made a bunch of money on the SHEET MUSIC Which was selling at the time for $1.98 Per Copy. I told him also that I bet the Churches bought millions of copies because the song was sung in some churches the way we sing THE OLD RUGGED CROSS.
His answer was, "NO! The churches usually buy one copy and Zerox the rest for the congregation." Now, it may be unintentional, but still it's the same thing as we do on our computers by downloading for free.
I think it's even worse in Kris's case...
