We'll it'll have at least one fan!

If they use his music then as the law stands he gets paid. It's a daft way to remunerate creators and performers of music, but we're stuck with it.

Wouldn't put me off watching the film. I've read some very good reviews and i could always stick me fingers in me ears when GG is singing.

[Spicerack]

Apparently it's not very PC, Tora. Therefore the leftard media etc are panning it. The dirty old public, on the other hand, seem to like it.

[ToraToraTora]

yeah ken but are you happy to pay GG?

[Zacs-Master]

You have to make the distinction between the DM saying it's not well received by some movie fans and it breaking box office records:

Oh, i won't be paying to see the film. I'll wait until i can watch it for free. The fact that 'Paedo Paul' will receive royalties will not affect my decision whether or not to watch the film.

I suppose I'll have to boycott YouTube now, oh well.

[johnny.5]

Surely the royalties will go to the glitter band most of which are innocent and losing their loyalties ever since

[ToraToraTora]

J5, no, GG owns the rights to most of their songs.

[Mozz71]

I'm not sure he'll "make a fortune" out of it. There'll be a one off payment for it's use, but little more. IF it's on the soundtrack album, that's when the royalties will start massing.

[Ken4155]

I wonder how many of those who are critical of the film have actually been to see it? I wonder how many of those who have, got up and walked out when the GG track was being played? I also wonder just how many of those cinema goers were wearing clothes manufactured by children in sweat shops? Finally, i wonder how many of those who, wearing said clothes, and who have panned the use of the track, consider themselves hypocrites?

A flat fee, and additional royalties when streamed, released on dvd, broadcast on tv. It all adds up.

[Mamyalynne]

If one were being cynical you may think - there's no such thing as bad publicity.

[hc4361]

You could well be right, Mamya :)

[Ellipsis]

Hmm, I've heard good things about the film. Didn't hear that it contains a Gary Glitter track, though. What a shame ... they probably could have found something equally fitting from an artist who wasn't a paedophile.

[Mozz71]

I just did a little research and it seems that the Soundtrack album only includes the film's orchestral score, but no other tunes featured in the movie. There's no fortune coming to Glitter.

[hc4361]

One source of revenue on the back of the film for Glitter:

[ummmm]

Not being a fan of Gary Glitters music or such films, I wouldn't have noticed.

[hc4361]

He made £300k in 2013 when his music was sampled in a trailer for a film (Silver Linings Playbook) so he'll make much more from this film.
