She then proceeded to tell me, "just because you have P.O. from Warner Bros., doesn't mean you are going to get paid".

I was incredulous!
So I said, what's the purpose of getting a P.O. from you all anymore?

She said, "we'll, I'm just telling you what our new policy is".

Every year the major labels have changed their payment schedule.
Now major labels are telling producers there is no back end if your song doesn't go on the record.

It doesn't matter that you've already done the work.
If they choose not to put it on the record, no back end.
