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.
Oh please - that argument is cliched and clueless.

St John'S, NL		 I agree.

They are probably trying to hold out as long as possible to make money off the $400 million before they have to pay it out.

Eugene, OR		 Exactly what i was thinking. Wonder what kind of interest you could get off 400 mill. Sorry we dont have all the 400 mill in one place we have it diversified in our RIAA portfolio.
