2pints-mate 0 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I found this to be interesting http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4918214.stm They're trying to extend the period of time from when a performer can get royalties from 50 years to be the same as songwriters - 70 years. How does this all work internationally? It must be quite complicated. In a related article it has a list of the "Top Dead Earners" ( ) 1. Elvis Presley 2. Charles Schulz 3. John Lennon 4. Andy Warhol 5. Theodor Geisel 6. Marlon Brando 7. Marilyn Monroe 8. JRR Tolkien 9. George Harrison 10. Johnny Cash 11. Irving Berlin 12. Bob Marley 13. Ray Charles Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Marilyn Monroe - I never understood the deal with her. Has she even been in that many films? I can only think of one or two films she was in. I cant understand how she can still be earning more than the likes of bob marley and george harrison now. Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Never heard of some of them. Monroe wasn't in that many films I don't think. Wasn't even that sexy if you ask me. Link to post Share on other sites
