Warner: Yeah, well, you know, we couldn’t find her, we *wanted* to pay the royalties…
I guess the artists aren’t getting any of this money the RIAA is ‘recovering’ via lawsuits.

no!!! it can’t be!! The music industry ripping off one of their artists?!?! Sure not!!
I’d advise *ALL* artists to get independant audits done of all their record sales as compared to royalty payments. I’m sure you’re all being ripped off.
