I get 50% writer's share and 50% publisher's share.
For their normal placements I get exactly what anyone would get with a 'normal' deal, it's just broken down differently.
Just in some exceptions where they have to give the music supervisor something, maybe 40% of publishing, we bear the 'cost' of that equally, so I would be left with 30% publishing and the library with 30% publishing (while keeping our 50% writer''s shares).
I would normally NEVER give the writer's share away, and I'm signed to several libraries where I get placements, so it's not like I'm desperate . I've turned down these bad deals several times where the library wants to take more than is reasonable. But I am considering this deal as I think it could be worth it.
