Everette, you are spot on its extortion, but it also brings out that, possibly the songs are not that good, if they can afford to forget the songwriter, assuming they can easily get something similar from somebody else, and/or, that the songs by these artists are NOT very good, its all about production and singing. If you listen to today's pop its entirely about the singer, no mention of anybody else.

So i think its part of where music is at. I mean even if you contributed a few "girl, you are fine" or, " Im so sad without youss" are you really a commodity, or are you just there. To sum up, "I dont have the time to write my own lyrics or songs, ill just let my producer come up with a "dope" track, and if I cant think of my own "you are so hot" they will do it for me.

If somebody had presented them with a song like Hotel California, or, in that genre, " Sometimes when we touch" Or "Your Song, or " I will always love you, or any of the timeless classic pop love songs, they would easily pay up, and possibly pay more. Those kind of songs are not needed today.

In other words, "im not going to pay you 100k for a bag of ice cubes"

Understood, but its still a chit practice and wrong. And they probably spent 100k on champagne last month alone.
