So Tim Rose gets/got 25% royalties for stealing Bonnie Dobson's song? FWIW, I was always led to believe that Tim Rose wrote "Morning Dew" and was shocked and disgusted when I discovered the truth. Here's a couple of quotes I found on the net today.

----To add insult to injury, when Bonnie Dobson performed in England (1969) at Queen Elizabeth Hall, everybody praised her fine rendition of Tim Rose's song. It seems that in England, Rose had received sole credit for writing the song which led to the misconception that he was the actual composer. "I've written songs with other people and I have never claimed them for my own. I just think it was really a dreadfully dishonest thing to do" spoke Bonnie. Honesty or honor were never Tim's strongest attributes. ----

And this damning piece ->

----This series, which I've now titled "For a Song" started with "Hey Joe" and "Dazed and Confused" and now continues with "Morning Dew" The common thread that ties them all together is Tim Rose. Timmy (as Bonnie Dobson referred to him) was a gruff guy, who had a growling vocal style somewhat similar to Joe Cocker or Tom Waits (without any of their redeeming qualities or talent). Tim Rose was a rather obscure and minor figure in American music. A man better known for his plagiarism than for his music.-----
