Can you imagine what he'd be earning if he was playing a Smiths gig though? He f***ed up.
History tells us he'd be getting as little as possible.

Okay, put the money issue aside; if Joyce hadn't taken M&M to court, he might still be a Smith, or at the very least be drumming in a band with either Morrissey or Marr instead of playing Come On Eileen at weddings and christenings. Is Joyce really happy with the decision he made? Only he can answer that, and I doubt he would answer it truthfully (even to himself) because of self preservation.
Yes. But to send it to Mike was disgusting (whoever did it).
Oddly Morrissey has played far bigger venues than the Smiths ever did the UK, I think their biggest one was the Summer of the 10th Festival gig at Manchester G Mex, which New Order headlined. Was rammed though when The Smiths were on.
Shut up dickhead. Who won the case? You got a problem, go argue with Judge Weeks, or do you prefer justice on your terms and not the law of the land? Remember the appeal also failed?
No, that's not at all what I was saying. Go back and read it a few times over, or make someone read it for you.
And thanks for killing the Smiths off proper.
It was about money at the end of the day. A huge amount. A while ago, someone posted sales data showing that the Smiths back catalogue had consistently outsold Morrissey's solo material during the 90s and 00s. Mike has made millions from his decision to sue. I don't think anyone in their right mind would swap that for the prospect of waiting around in the vague hope of a Smiths reunion.
' Morrissey was spiteful about paying what he owed ' ?
' he owed' ?
Prove it. Of course it's funny how you don't mention Marr in this blaming game of yours.
'it's hilarious that you think he's just worth 10% because I'm sure your opinion is worth 0% to Mike'
Really ? Why you wanna go and hurt me like that? boo-hoo! I'm sure my opinions about Mike are all that he has and will give him plenty of sleepless nights. Which is good because....
don't close your eyes
don't ever close your eyes
you think you've won
oh no

'spite'? no. The need for justice were justice was not served? yes.
Revenge through words.. through song. Revenge as justice..and so he uses the tools of an artist. In this world as we know it..sick and cruel as it spins... There are those who must create an alternative to it in order to survive. This is called ART.
And I'm sure plenty of respectful judges have sent innocent people to their deaths just to make a name for themselves or to do a favor for someone that's hiding in the shadows.

Dear Joyce,
Even with judge Weaks and luck on your side ..you'll always be just 10 percent in my eyes. And thanks for killing the Smiths off proper.
