Thank you John. Before I left for vacation, I managed to get a response from my PRO, who said they'd never received a cue sheet. Was able to track that down and have the production company forward it so hopefully royalties will be sorted out.JohnnyP wrote:Congrats on the placement Janet! Best of luck tracking down the $ and please keep us posted.

Thank you very much, Anna!annayarbrough wrote:Congrats, Janet!
Ha, yes, 1 placement DOES feel a lot better than 0 placements!:)pboss wrote:Congratulations, Janet! There's a big difference in the feeling between 0 placements and 1 placement. The great thing is, this is proof that you have things in place for more placements, and we look forward to hearing about your next milestones.

I also think they could find out when (of if) the payments were made (and to whom) for the transaction of using your music. I'm not sure if it works the same in the music world as it does with customers in the business world - but it should be similar.music editor of the show subsequently contacted me, asking for my PRO info because he was including the cue in the show. The show (called the RIP Files, Series 2, "Prisoners in Time" episode) was not picked up in the U.S. but went on to air in SysFy Asia and Really TV in the U.K.
BTW - I haven't even gotten a forward yet - SO congrats to you all for getting placements. Hope you start getting those royalties real soon.

Hi Jim, so before I left on vacation I followed up again with my PRO, who told me they never received a cue sheet. I tracked down and contacted the company owner (ghosthunterpat@gmail.com) and asked her to send the cue sheet to my PRO (I tried sending it directly to my PRO, but they said it had to come from the production company). My PRO person said she'd "reach out" to foreign distributors about past royalties for the last 9 months, which is apparently the limit they will look for. But, as you say, we should get Amazon royalties that started in May 2018. I plan to follow up re: the foreign royalty situation soon.jdstamper wrote:So Janet, I actually found my placement, it's in Season 2 Episode 3, Spirits of the Palace. This originally aired around the end of November 2015 in the UK, et al. This will help if I follow-up on the missing royalty. Even if the international royalties never appear, it seems like we should see something trickle in from Amazon? I wonderjanetsnare wrote: Oh wow, good luck with your royalty situation also. I'm going to follow up again with my PRO next week to see if I can get a response from them. Hopefully this isn't par for the course. Will let you know if I have any better luck:) Which episode of the RIP Files is your placement in? Do you know?

Thanks again, I probably would never have found it except for this thread.

Hey Janet, that's great how you've tracked it down. If the PRO never received a cue sheet, then I'm not sure how royalties would find us from Amazon, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that connections will be made eventually I don't quite understand the "9 months" look back limit, when we're often told it can take 2 years for foreign royalties to appear in the first place. By the time we know it's missing, it's too late to follow-upjanetsnare wrote: Hi Jim, so before I left on vacation I followed up again with my PRO, who told me they never received a cue sheet.
