We haven't figured out a legal way to screw the artists completely and keep all the money for ourselves.
No. they don't know how to divvy up the money. The fines collected were not tied to music downloaded on specific artists. So, how do they decide who gets how much? No matter how they split it, some artists are going to feel they deserved a bigger piece of the money than other artists. I'd bet money that that is what is holding everything up.
And I thought you were smarter than this.

All you have to do is look at the records and see what songs they accused people of downloading. If that song was part of the complaint, then that artist gets the money. Of course, if record keeping wasn't so good, then that could be another case.
