(And they must be getting royalty checks from America whenever Wanda Dee impersonates them.)
Actually I don't think you collect royalties for live performances, only broadcast recordings. Think of all the Beatle sound-alike bands and the checks they'd have to dish out!
Isn't it divided? There's two parts to royalties - the written music bit and the performance bit. (It's called the "mechanical" and the something-else. Mind's a blank...) So yeah, they get less of a royalty if Wanda dances along to her own rerecording of the songs, but they should still get something. Michael
