Show me the Money

The labels have always maintained that copyright protection was about protecting the artists (at least publicly) Now those very same artists are wondering where that protection is. Seems like all that settlement money that the labels have extracted out of lawsuits against Napster and the like has not exactly been handed back to the musos. Maybe they just forgot? Or is it as the article suggests:

Manager Irving Azoff, whose clients included The Eagles and Jewel, said it was a struggle to get money from settlements out of record companies like EMI, Universal Music and Warner Music.
