RIAA Not Sharing Settlement Money With Artists

Klatoo55 writes "Various artists are considering lawsuits in order to press for their share of the estimated hundreds of millions of dollars the RIAA has obtained from settlements with services such as Bolt, KaZaA, and Napster. According to TorrentFreak's report on the potential action, there may not even be much left to pay out after monstrous legal fees are taken care of. The comments from the labels all claim that the money is on its way, and is simply taking longer due to difficulties dividing it all up."

    Yeah, I started learning my first instrument, the Guitar, at age 22 on Jan 9 2008. Most people are surprised I can play parts of Cliffs of Dover. It's a relatively easy song, if you skip the horribly twisted intro (I'll get that part down when I can play the rest smoothly).
