an open letter to stephen judge

Stephen

i do not recant

i am furious with your insulting royalty statements

i intend to put your royalty statements online for the whole world to see

with annotations by an american record biz auditor

and as i wrote to you personally

if you dont sort this out i have some very interesting new allies

who are prepared to help me get to the bottom of this once and for all

i am so fucking sick of being ripped off and underpaid

you are the final straw that broke this camels back

let me make this plain

i am leaving the church because of you

and also because i am unhappy with the bands internal business attitude

but definitely its mainly you and now your ludicrous response

so if i dont receive my adequate share of the pie

i mean regardless of what you say stephen

you made about 30 or 40 grand for that period

and we got a hundred dollars each

(300 extra for my solo albums)

keep denying that if you like but the statements will be here ,on facebook and anywhere else very soon

IF YOU DONT DECIDE TO DO THE RIGHT THING
AND PASS SOME OF THE MONEY YOU COLLECTED ON TO THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS MUSIC!

20 or 30 years ago when you were just a little kid

we made these records!

and i still aint never been sorted out properly

stephen, im as mad as hell and i aint gonna take it!

re; sydney morning herald

i was flustered

i was trying to ameliorate a bad situation

i shouldnt have backtracked

i will not again

i will not back down

i am going to have satisfaction or my day in court
