If only it were so easy. A lot more goes into figuring out what is owed on
royalties than that. Promotion costs, pressing, packaging, advertising, and
sometimes more (ie. telephone, etc...) have to come out before the royalty
payment is figured out. It is never completly accurate and yes sometimes
people disagree. All this should be understood before contracts are signed
so that no suprises come later. I've worked in this business for many years
and have come across/heard about a fair share of crooks. Warp has never
been one that's come up in conversation.
