The Euro symbol looks more like a C with two lines dashed through it.


No. What the hell you're thinking? Its the intergalactic sign for the Swiss Toblerones which is something like 1/470 863 541 of earth money called "coins".

Track was in top-10 of audiojelly trance chart and original (kingdom fall) sold 250 copies.

But here's some info:

Far as I can tell the minimum payout is not in the contract. It's 90 euros if I remember right. Here's some of the details of a statement from last year. I'm not mentioning the name of the label.

___________________________________________________________________

royalties: Track Downloads, Streams, etc. 01/2011 -
06/2011 15(tracks) 0,00 EUR

royalties: compilation downloads 5(tracks) 0,32 EUR

royalties: compilation downloads 13(tracks) 0,83 EUR

royalties: Track Downloads, Streams, etc. 01/2011 - 06/2011 22(tracks) 0,16 EUR

___________________________________________________________________



The contract says I get 35% from digital downloads. With the sales above, I'm not even getting anywhere near that. 13 tracks downloaded and only .83 EUR. Has anyone else seen a royalty statement like this? After seeing that royalty statement from Alter Ego Records, I'm going to see if I can get the label to explain and/or give me more details. The language barrier is a bit of an issue. There was a more recent statement where I had 118 downloads and streams, and that totaled to about 4,00 EUR. Again, this is an older label with a well established name, not a fly by night operation.

Is there any chance they ran a free promotion? I publish eBooks and I know if I run a free promotion it lists those downloads with the paid sales (with nothing differentiating them). So I have literally had thousands of downloads in a cycle and barely any royalties listed next to it. Now, I know the reason since I am the publisher and chose to run the promotion. But if I didn't tell someone I was working with and just forwarded the statement then they would wonder why they were only getting a few bucks. Just an idea.

If you are accurately describing what happened that is absurd. All you did was politely ask for documentation. That is like someone being offended at being asked to sign a contract or something.
