How many times must I post that this issue is irrelevant to the
Hyperion decision? Sawkins was paid a fee for use of his edition in
the recording. The lawsuit was about royalties, not about the
customary fees paid for the use of editions in performance and in
recordings.

regardless of whether a fee was paid or not? The fee he was paid has
nothing to do with what he is guaranteed by law. You also pay for an
edition you buy, that doesn't mean you don't have to pay royalties.
Oh well.
