Glitter’s 1972 stadium anthem “Rock and Roll Part II” won’t be putting any royalty money in the disgraced singer’s bank accounts.

Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker may have used a song by convicted pedophile Gary Glitter but the singer will not be profiting from it.

Spokespersons for Snapper Music and Universal Music Publishing Group, which owns the songwriting itself, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. Some online critics believed this means Glitter, 75, could earn royalty money on the film’s DVD and soundtrack sales — in addition to what Warner Bros. paid initially for using the song.Joker broke October box office records this weekend, earning an estimated $93.5 million at the domestic box office and made $234 million internationally.
