Re: Out of touch..
Admittedly Pete Waterman is already a wealthy man, but that really isn't the point.
Millionaire or pauper, there's a principle at stake.
If he co-wrote the song, it should be protected by copyright.
After all the owners of YouTube/Google aren't exactly short of a bob or two either, and they are making money off Waterman's work. Especially if they're just paying eleven quid, for a song that's been watched 154 million times.
