perhaps the legal system created to ensure no one is ever allowed make money from the cartoon mouse is not the moral framework you should be applying to the distribution of academic knowledge, you fucking nerds

I've been informed that in the UK you don't get royalties at all b/c the uni owns your work, but no, you really don't get anything even if you DO get royalties. It's way different than non-academic publishing.

Okay apparently it depends on your institution but you get so little that no one is making a living, not even close.
