Alan - with respect, that cannot be right. The AR Literary Executors may well administer the royalties but they don't 'get' them in the sense of pocketing them. The royalties go as per AR's will. I have not seen AR's will and I regard it as none of anyone's business, but I imagine there will be a bequest of copyright royalties in it. It is possible that the Lit Execs are entitled to charge for their services (again, none of our business). However, I agree with Alan that the Lit Execs policy of allowing TARS the free use of AR's text and illustrations is generous.
