if you were in need of money you might look into getting the royalties

I probably should and then have it automatically sent to some musician's charity/benefit.

Alas, I'm lazy and I don't think it's much money. We're talking checks of less than a dollar, I'd expect. If any of 'em were over $10 I'd be kinda surprised. My rights would be like $0.015 or $0.03 per copy sold.

It would be good if you were selling millions, but nobody does that anymore

The stuff I was on was more or less local stuff, like I'd do the studio work for a band that played in bars and sold CDs at their merch table.

The most anything sold was in the 90s when I actually played guitar that actually went into rap music. I was on four or five tracks.

However, I'm pretty sure that studio closed after a federal investigation and a bunch of them went to jail. Like, the recording company was started by gang drug sale proceeds and then the gang used it as a way to launder money. There were rumors of them holding artists at gunpoint to make them sign away the rights to their work. It was a shitshow. I don't think they exist in any form.

That one sold a lot of albums, but they all sold locally. The group (band? I'm not sure what to call them) was very popular locally but never made it to the national level - as far as I know. It was straight up gangster wrap.
