That sounds more to me as a contract how reneveu's are shared over the members and company and not have much to do with actual rights.
I mean bandmembers of Nirvana still get a share whenever a Nirvana song is played, same goes for the livin Beatles members tho they don't own the rights.
I don't mean who gets what but who owns the actual rights and I can not imagine those rights are split up over 4/5 persons + recordcompany

revenues are directly proportionate to percentage cuts and yes it will be split up between all members of the band and the label
plus the producer
plus anyone else who is lucky enough to get themselves a few points.
bon jovi will probably be much better off but a new band is doing well to get 20-25 points of mechanical and performance copyrights to spli tbetween themselves.
as i said before. a point is a % of 90%.
you might hear of producers or big musicians who demand $x per track plus 10 points etc...
points are worked out of 90% as back in the day of vinyal labels automatically docked 10% from everything to cover breakages as records are dpretty easy to break in transit. as the digital age came round they conveiniently forgot to rectify this discrepancy.
it migh tbe hard to believe that a songs royalties are split lots of different ways but that;s how it works. sting gets a performance royalty for his one line backing vocal on money for nothing, richie may very well have got himself more performance royalties for his hand claps on hard times come easy, steve tyler most certainly will have a few points for playing harp on if god was a woman, dave stewart will have taken a hefty cut of destination anywhere takings because he produced and performed etc...
