Good point Geoff, we can only speculate. Join me on a
trip to speculation-land (wavy lines, wavy lines, wavy
lines)...

Scenario 1:

Ad Agency: "We can pay you $250,000 for your big 60s
hit song "My Car is My Girl" for our Hyundai
commercial."

Big-time Publisher: "But we used to get an additional
$10,000 from ASCAP for performance royalties from the
Broadcaster."

Ad Agency: "That's not in our ad-creation budget but,
we'll toss in an additional $5000".

Big-time Publisher: "OK, thanks!"

Scenario 2:

Ad Agency: "We'll can pay you $15,000 to write us a 30
second jingle for our adult diaper commercial. That
will cover your license fee and a direct license for
performance royalties."

Guy writing/producing music on his laptop in his front
porch studio: "OK, thanks!"
