Title: WTF of the Week
Post by: nightporter on August 02, 2019, 09:54:07 am

Was reading about the court case were singer Katy Perry was sued for copying a song. She lost and had to pay.
My WTF moment was when Capitol Records told the court the label earned $31m (£26m) from the song, but after costs only made a profit of $630,000 (£520,000).
So that 1 song cost $30 million to make?

Around 2% not enough to survive on, I suspect the forensic accountants may have a different number when they're done.
