I asked Anne Regan at @dreamspinners if royalty money from the escrow account was used for other business purposes. This is what I got back: 1/4
"We have paid authors over $13.3 million dollars in royalties over the last decade. All of that income has been properly accounted for and paid out. We hit a crisis in 2019 that we are doing the best to correct." 2/4
Which I& #39;m choosing to read as the punchline to that very old joke: "But you fuck ONE goat!" You fucked the goat, DSP. Money from the escrow account wasn& #39;t used to pay authors, and suddenly there was no money anymore! Gosh, what a mystery! 3/4
And you& #39;ll notice that she didn& #39;t actually answer the question. They never do. Probably for legal purposes at this point. Then again, if they were so scared of lawyers maybe they shouldn& #39;t have stolen in the first place? #payyourauthors #dsp #onegoat #dreamspinners 4/4
