Will convicted pedophile Gary Glitter profit from the sync of his 1972 jock jam classic 'Rock and Roll Part II' during a pivotal scene in Joker? The answer is complicated

Meanwhile, a source says Warner Bros. Studios has no plans to remove the"Rock and Roll Part II" from the soundtrack or future versions of the film.the R-rated box office smash about one socially isolated man’s descent into violence, recently came under fire for including a song by convicted pedophile Gary Glitter on its soundtrack.

But there is a smaller source of revenue that could still be headed for Glitter’s pocket: digital performance royalties from the song’s non-interactive streams on Pandora, SiriusXM and other webcasters. A representative for SoundExchange declined to reveal Glitter’s registration status, which is standard. "We currently collect and distribute royalties on behalf of more than 199,000 recording artists and copyright owners’ accounts," SoundExchange wrote. "In order to protect their privacy, SoundExchange does not disclose their registration status or share any of their royalty information.

If an artist isn’t registered with SoundExchange, the organization will continue to collect funds for a three-year period, after which the money is redistributed among other artists.

It’s not complicated. He sold the rights. He does not get royalties

I hope not from a 65year old survivor, and it haunts me every day. He will serve his sentence, but mine will last for life.

Does he profit from everytime it's played at a sporting event?

Who gives a shit?

Try hards

TheQuartering Look what they're doing now

That’s how it usual goes when you incorporate licensed music into a film, someone has to get compensated if they retain the rights to said music. 🤷🏾‍♂️

All the outrage over Joker does not make it less of a great film.

Any new news

NJDevils There apparently was no reason to RIG the goal song vote which was asinine, pointless, and completely disrespectful to what you offered. It was a slap in the face of your fan base.

Move on. Jesus

No, I will because I bought the rights.

You guys are simply pathological when it comes to this film. The mental illness theme is now irony.

The answer isn't complicated cuz no one gives a shit.

Nah.

Wow media is so worried about real issues. Glitter type ppl still runs hollywood.

Move on already
