Yeah, the only way it remotely works in theory is if the fee is some percentage of the revenue you earned off the IP in the last year.
Practically it's an unenforceable nightmare that is so prone to "Hollywood accounting" type gimmicks that doesn't work at all.
- earenndil 8y agoI don't think making it a % works. If that % is less than 100, then you never have any incentive not to pay it.
- Bonooru 8y agoRevenue != Profit. There are costs associated with making money off of the IP. You'd stop when those costs and the cost of renewing are greater than the revenue taken in.
- philwelch 8y agoDon't make it a percentage of revenue, just make it an exponentially increasing amount, and the copyright holder will bail out when it's no longer profitable for them.
- jacques_chester 8y agoNot a percentage. A dollar amount, increasing faster than inflation.
