Pharrell Williams got screwed. He only earned $2700 from his world-famous song “Happy”
Wow that sucks. I've heard of a few similar stories of how Hollywood actors ending up bankrupt with managment fees etc. even though they rake in millions.
It's all a system designed to juice you and spit you out like dried pulp.
They would have indeed made much more from a decentralised platform like Hive.
Absolutely spot on @islandboi - Actually, it was Pharrell Williams' case that really inspired me to build Hive-Tube. I see so much talent out there (even those guys on the street who play those drum buckets and pvc pipes etc), that I feel we really must get them some attention and passive income, ya know? No "Agent" is gonna ever take them seriously, but the Hive community is a powerful force and I know if we all can show them some love that they too can share some of the limelight and for fucksake earn enough to pay some bills and have a comfortable life. No lambos and all that crap, but a comfortable life nonetheless.
