The publisher money can go wherever the publisher sees fit! If a songwriting band member has an exceptionally good publishing deal (eg Radiohead) then they will see a fair bit of the publisher's slice as well as their artist slice, once they've paid their original publishing advance off. Alternatively the publisher will rub their hands with glee and buy an porsche.
Other non-digital royalty areas are EXTREMELY lucrative for songwriters. Kylie gets 0p for getting her song played on the radio/telly. Cathy Dennis gets £££many. Online stuff is handled differently - there are separate royalties for BUYING music (79p breakdown described above) and separate royalties for PERFORMING music (ie using Kylie song in the background for your website or myspace to encourage people to visit it). It's the latter bit that we're being sued about (apologies, I got mixed up earlier).
MCPS handles the Buying A Product side of things (CDs, DVDs), and this part of the music industry is going down the sh1tter. Sales of physical products are falling and there was no 'instant replacement' scheme for online royalties this time - unlike when CDs arrived and it was merely a matter of changing the shape of the case. It all works differently and the major labels are feeling the pinch because they didn't respond quickly enough.
