And, Steve sent in an article which said some of the same things concerning
record companies, etc.  

For clarity, what I reported was that the time period that I will receive
funds for the recordings & tv shows I did (thousands over some thirty years)
for a longer period than originally thought.

I'm referring to Performer's Rights, and that covers recordings, videos &
television shows where one performed.  This is not to be confused with money
that reaches record companies from sales, which then trickles down to
composers & anyone under contract.  This money goes through a different
collection agency & then down to the performer who played the gig.
