Well, that's what should have happened. He'll make some money (for two charities) that he otherwise wouldn't have made thanks to Glee stealing his arrangement.
BTW I disagree with Lynch's math. It was only one song on a series that has lots of songs, and Coulton was only the arranger, not the writer. I doubt that many pennies changed hands.

So free publicity is supposed to make up for the fact that, by the time you add up advertising during the episode, iTunes downloads, physical CDs, DVDs, and cast tours, Fox is probably going to gross more off of ripping him off than he ever did for the original? -- David J.
