I'm not sure how many major labels you've billed, but just writing those terms on an invoice, well it doesn't mean anything.

I have written that on my invoice and many other terms.
The Major Labels still pay when they want.

They are very much like a doctor billing the medicare system.
If you are a doctor and bill $1,000 for a procedure, medicare will pay what they are willing to pay and no more.
