I’m not complaining but just wondered who makes the money from people downloading it. Obviously not MK. Good job he’s stinking rich. Not so good for new artists.
Yes, the Artist gets a small percentage of earnings in most cases if it's not the crowdfunding platform of some sorts. I remember putting my work on Shutterstock and other stock photos websites, and even though you took the picture (or shot the video), you edited it, you trimmed it, uploaded it, named it, provided it with proper tags and stuff, Shutterstock shamelessly takes 70% of royalties. Unbelievable numbers for when you do 99% of the work. But they need to keep their Empire State Building office up I guess.
Generally speaking, numbers from all these publishing platforms are so low you might as well just ignore it or put "the earnings" in your piggy bank.
