Royalties that continue to be received after the commencement of incapacity for work done prior to the incapacity do not constitute 'earnings other than as an employee' because they do not cease to be derived as a consequence of the incapacity; accordingly such royalties are excluded from the calculation of weekly compensation and from abatement under section 47.
