$200000 in royalties from sales performances and other sources It appears easy and profitable once it's broken down But songwriters spend years perfecting their craft and write literally hundreds of songs or more before coming up with a hit There are several agencies that collect the various types of royalties One of the people responsible for making sure the writers and music companies get the royalties they deserve is Terry Smith president and founder of Copyright Management Inc in Nashville His 3-year-old firm has 60 clients half of them in Nashville and half in other parts of the country He says he's adding an average of two a week "I saw the stopgaps the pitfalls in the royalty-collection business" said Smith former business manager for country music star Way Ion Jennings "These were not just because of crooked people but a lot of details were being overlooked" he said The money-earning aspects of a song can be broken down into several components The biggest source of earnings would come from "performing royalties" normally six to 12 cents each time the song is heard on radio TV or in live performance For a typical Rogers' hit this could mean $75000 to $125000 for the writer Another kind of royalty is a "mechanical royalty" which is based on sales If the song is on a gold one that sells 500000 copies in the United States under the customary songwriting contracts the writer gets $11250 His or her royalty is figured on 45 cents per unit But the writer customarily splits the royalty with the music publishing company If the song is a gold single 1 million units sold the writer earns a handsome $22500 This is based on the same formula 45 cents per unit with the writer and song publisher splitting the royalty 50-50 The writer's profits aren't limited to sales in the United States The song also is played overseas where it makes another $30000 for the writer and an additional $1700 in Canada The $30000 largely is from the success of the song in Scandinavia

royalty-collection business" Terry Smith Kingdom Germany Australia France and Japan If the song or any part of it is used in a television show that could mean another $1500 to the writer and $1500 to the music publisher The fast-rising video field is another avenue of songwriting royalties That's worth a typical $275 one-time fee to the writer But the writer also gets a performing royalty based on each time the video is played On a network show it can be as high as $9 On a local show it's usually $150 to the writer each time the video is aired If a film company uses the song in a movie the writer could pick up another $3000 on the average And the writer could expect to pocket another $3000 from royalties for sheet music There are other future benefits that cannot even be estimated Rogers and his producer happy with the success of the hit song will look to the writer for more tunes Other top singers likely will regard the writer's future songs more favorably enhancing the prospects of the cycle beginning over again Smith said his company will be "a quality-control agent for copyright royalties One of my goals is to get the money back in the hands of the creative people more efficiently and accurately "We spent more than a year designing a computer system to perform all the tedious nitpicking to assure maximum royalty return" Symbolizing the dual nature of Smith's business the magazines for browsing in his outer office include American Songwriter and Personal Computing "We have what we believe to be the most complex royalty-monitoring and accounting system in the market" he said Smith a former jazz musician for Stan Kenton and Les Brown said millions of dollars in royalties go uncollected in foreign countries "They slip through the cracks someplace" he said Ile relishes his role as a kind of detective tracking down money that's owed to others "We dig for every clue we can" he said "I love it" the Burroughs beat next fall will be Queer Burroughs' unpublished novel about homosexual life in the '40s The next book to appear in fall 1086 is The Western Lands a work in progress about the ancient Egyptians' land of the dead -2821131 cmtxx KIV ev AN
