The crazy thing is Rick Astley has only earned ~$12 (yes, twelve dollars) in royalties for all the tens of millions of views the video has gotten.

Rick Astley's Never Going To Give You Up was played 39 million times on YouTube, but he received $12 for his performance share - Astley didn't compose the song, so receives only a performer's share of the sound recording copyright.

This is web 2.0. Adapt or die.... oh, wait. It's more like "adapt and starve to death".

So he earns only 1/32,000 of one cent for each time that video is played? I like to see an actual link to the performance fee rates.

Well, it did give his career a shot in the arm, the 4chan guys were trying to promote his latest video, dunno if that worked out. That has to be worth more than 12$
