Ack - sorry for my typos - long day and strong antibiotics ;-) Had another thought wondering if the record companies may have to change the way they keep their records to some extent (and maybe some have already) because what I've seen in the past is that it is very difficult to do an audit for an individual artist, especially one who has been with a company for a long time. Audits are often made more difficult when the company has gone through a number of ownership changes over the years and records are lost or purged or hard to find because of the constant change in database, filing, recording, storage systems, etc. Some speculate that the record companies like having such "logistical difficulties" on their side in royalty disputes. My bottom line - I think a number of artists have been ripped off or perhaps misled to some degree or another.
