I think it’s less about more money in Jon's pocket, and more about Jon putting money in someone elses who he feels doesn't deserve it.

I'm 99.9% sure this is the reasoning. I could see Bruce taking the "makes people want stuff he has already done instead of people wanting him to release his new records" approach. But Jon is the biggest sellout and loves big numbers and albums.

Also, say what you want about Everyday sounding too much like this and that. And Jon doesn't like Bounce. Etc. Now that’s BS and I'm not buying it.
Wait, why is the guy any less deserving of royalties because you don't like the songs? He did his job just the same Max Martin did, hell just the same Billy Falcon does.
