Royalties can often be attached to an inheritance, hence how the creator of Superman can still get royalties related to him.

Off the top of my head, I know these things can existence for a famous reason. There was a decade or so long court debate between the creators family and DC comics over the right to be able to use "Superboy" because the original "Superboy" was creaedalso by the creator of Superman. Which ended up with the rights to "DC's Superboy" being their royalties and the rights to the families "Superboy" being their royalties. In short DC only had to pay them if they used their version of Superman or Superboy, but didn't have to pay them for every usage of Superman or Superboy. DC's Superboy refers to a character who is the DNA of Superman and Lex Luther, while their version I believe is the original Superman as a boy. Or...Something like that it got very confusing.

Netherless, Samefree's rights to the song may have been passed on so another family member can claim it, but we wouldn't know without looking it up. IF it had been done via Karen-T or Piapro then CFM would still be able to claim a % off of it anyway. I don't know the full laws involved and I ain't no lawyer so there is a limit of my knowledge and I certainly wouldn't call any of this legal advice. But there are still ways around things even if the person has passed away, that I know.

To be honest, I would have preferred this album if it didn't include the usual suspects for songs at all. It gets boring if they toss out album after album like this and honestly? Luka has some 8,000+ songs CFM has access to via right to use. They could easy toss out several albums with fresh content. Plus, the true Luka fans likely have a chunk of those songs by now.

But I understand why this happens, you wouldn't buy a Meatloaf album if the classic hits weren't in it that made them famous and the 1 time I myself did that... The album was kinda boring I felt as there was nothing on it like "Bat out of Hell", it was... Mundane.
