Pete Waterman won't be crying either.Comment

He shut himself off from the industry for a few years and was pretty well known in the UK for shying away from any media attention.Comment

That's pretty funny. LMAO @ the metsComment
-
in the clip, it said the song was released in 1986. I thought copyright law only extended to about 20 years, so wouldn't that mean since 2006 it could be used with royalties?

i put my vote in to rick roll the mets a while back, i never thought they would get 5 million fucking votes though.Comment

Enough people liked it back in the day to make it #1 in a variety of countries. I wouldn't buy it these days but it clearly did well enough. I think he has a good voice but he was part of the cheese machine which was Stock Aitken Waterman at the time. Same guys behind Bananarama and Kylie Minogue to name but a very few. You can tell one of their songs as soon as it starts no matter who is singing it. Total and utter cheese but they wrote and produced some of the highest selling songs over the decade and it is hard not to admire finding a formula and milking it for all the money possible.Comment

Yea god forbid someone makes money for their work.

that was the 80s cheesewave though, you do nott see kids cruising down the street with rick astley cranking in their stereos, you do not hear rick astley on the radio or playing in the club, you do not see rick astley topping the charts. What we have now is millions of people sitting on the internet going "jesus fuck! i clicked another fucking rock roll!" i was commenting on how that old fart in the interview was going on about how rick astley is recapturing the hearts of people with a great song. no, he is not recapturing anyones heart. its simply a bunch of people thinking "damn this song sucks, it will be funny if i trick a bunch of people into watching the video, AGAIN"Comment

Sorry to say, Rick is going to make fuck all from the streaming of the song on Youtube or anywhere else.
Youtube doesn't pay any real money for streaming music. Pennies, and no, they don't add up to anything. I've seen the royalty checks, they suck ass. Streaming doesn't pay.
If they ran ads on the rickroll vids they might make some money from the millions of views, but they don't.
Plus, Rick doesn't own the publishing so he'll receive none of the few pennies in publishing royalties from this.
But, on the positive side, Rick will do a lot more 80's shows for somewhere around $5k to $20k a pop. Definitely not millions, but it's a nice resurgence of his career since he wasn't doing that last Year. He will make a comortable 6 figure lump of cash for many years to come thanks to the RickRoll.I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

I just saw a interview with his producer and manager of the record Pete Waterman.
Pete said Rick gave up the biz even though he was at his peak and had a great future as he didnt really like the music industry publicity etc.
He went on to say that the record sold over 15 million copies and with his other hits made Rick a wealthy man.
Later he added that at the moment the rick roll hasnt really made any $$$$ but at the rate its going if it goes to a crazy amount like 90 million views they will all make some $$$$.
Pete seemed to indicate that youtube pay a very small fraction of a cent for the views ???to his production company... that was new to me ? maybe some have forced tubes to pay something even though its only a micro payment ?Comment
