[Dixielandjazz] Royalties

[Robert S. Ringwald]

What is the cost of paying royalties on CDs these days?

If you produce 1,000 but can prove you gave 400 away for PR, do you still 
have to pay on the full 1,000?

Is anyone selling their recordings on single tune digital format, such as CD 
Baby or ITunes without paying the royalties?

In your educated opinion what are the chances of getting caught?

If you do get caught, do you just pay up or is there fines involved?

If anyone wants to answer me off list, please do.  I can assure you that 
your reply will be treated confidentially.

Please, no guesses.  I'd like facts.
