That's technically incorrect. Dwarf Music pays Bob Dylan a royalty for the work's use. For any profit, over and above the royalty rate (if any), the company keeps the profit for it's shareholders - which in this case is also Bob Dylan. (But it doesn't have to be the artist, and often isn't). Inasmuch as Bob Dylan get his money either way, he can choose <how> he wants it paid to him...(Taxes...taxes...taxes...)
