Do you think that’s just a made up number? It’s based on revenue. So that means Sean Combs is making even more than that. It’s revenue sharing. It’s not a penalty.

Better to ask forgiveness than permission

Amazing album
Synchronicity was a huge seller, but it was just "alright" in the grand scheme of things.

You don’t remember posting basically this same exact thing?

Every Breath You Take is a very popular song. Of course someone would recognize it. And it's not like he sampled it for a random end of album song just to fill a slot. He used the sample for a song used in tribute of Biggy Smalls, of course that song would be huge.
Agree. Huge difference between this and Verve Pipe with Bittersweet Symphony. In no way does that sound like the Stones.
As others have said, he probably thought that they wouldn't get permission, so they did it anyway and decided to pay the price afterwards.

The song was number one and still gets a lot of streams, downloads, YouTube views, etc.
At some point that revenue will decline significantly, maybe close to zero.
But for now, all parties are likely happy with the arrangement.
I wonder if the Beastie Boys had to pay Led Zeppelin and the Eagles for all the samples they stole? And that was way before people even thought about asking permission.
