TAD: Making It RightHere's an update about the royalties situation:John English over at TAD stepped up and did the right thing by sending me a check for my royalties, which I have already received and banked.He also gave me his word that he would be taking care of the other artists royalties who were wronged as well.Whether that happens or not remains to be seen, but he called me not long after I made my post wanting to know what he could do.John said he didn't think people should get credit for doing the right thing and I agreed. But I still want to take the time to flesh this out a little because I want to keep my side of the street clean and because there's a lot of confused, angry, hurt, people.Justified or not; dropping this nuke hurt TAD and TAD isn't only populated by the people who wronged me; it's comprised of people *just like me* trying to make a living in art.I was wronged, but TAD isn't some cartoon villain plotting to suck the life-force from hapless artists; no one goes into business
