No standard but you can try and negotiate anything. First is on site versus off site, then you go from there. "On site" always runs the risk of being classed an employee if you can't show otherwise.

And before that, Steve Jobs convinced everyone "apps" should be $1.99 and no more. Yeah, as a matter of fact I do blame him for devaluing the freelancers. Seriously - where's the money in shareware today?

Well, many good comments here, but for me the honest truth is I wouldn't know where to send my contract money based on the fact most of my code is copy/pasted from googling. I have no idea who wrote the original, but I have no intention of reinventing the wheel.

I used to have a manager who delighted in telling me how much the bank saved/made from the applications we developed, I delighted in the monthly payment he made to my account. We were both rather pleased with ourselves.

Where did you get the idea that most songwriters (and performers) get royalties? Most of them work for a wage, like software devs.
