Keep in mind, MF/LB were both the publishers and song writers. Therefore, they get the percentages due to both those functions. Alizée is the performer and therefore only gets that percentage. The money issue gets more cloudy in regards to her compensation for live performances and merchandising. I have no idea what she might have earned for that.

Interesting article. Thanks.
However, there is so much to consider:
The original recording, developing new markets, merchandising, touring, etc.
The contract was either fair to Lili or not, we have no way of knowing. As merchandising took off, was there an additional negotiation? If so she probably got a better deal on the later piece.
