      They get paid. And unless the channel is cheating will get royalties.
      Agatha Christie novels read to the accomaniment of music are trying to avoid paying royalties to her estate.

    Back at the end of the 1960s one of my college flat mates came from a rich family with 3 daughters. She was most upset when all 3 refused to have anything to do with 'coming out' into the meat market like cattle, as one termed it.

      Go to magnifying glass icon, upper right on my iPad.
      Click.
      Type the title as you read it on your Part one.
      It has always lists the parts of audiobooks for me.
      I send them to my text because it’s where I store my audiobooks for listening later.
      Or
      Click and “save” every volume to complete your audiobook.
      It’s maddening.
      As much as I love You Tube, this is dumb.
      Additional parts of an auto book SHOULD be listed in Part one, probably under the word “MORE”.
