TORONTO A group of hit songwriters calling themselves “The Pact” is calling on artists to stop demanding a share of the publishing royalties when they aren’t involved in the writing of a song. In a recently published open letter, the group explained that a “growing number of artists” have demanded publishing royalties for songs they didn’t write. “These artists will go on to collect revenue from touring, merchandise, brand partnerships, and many other revenue streams, while the songwriters have only their publishing revenue as a means of income,” the letter stated. “This demand for publishing is often able to happen because the artist and/or their representation abuse leverage, use bully tactics and threats, and prey upon writers who may choose to give up some of their assets rather than lose the opportunity completely.”
