i love it, now if only someone would sue the riaa to find out if the money they collected from all the lawsuits and settlements with file sharers was ever turned over to the actual copyright holders or if the riaa just pocketed the dough.Jazz great Chet Baker's estate is suing the major record labels for releasing his music on Canadian CDs without paying compensation (a common practice in Canada, where over 300,000 songs have been released on CD without compensation). The defendants -- Warner Music Canada, Sony BMG Music Canada, EMI Music Canada, and Universal Music Canada -- have admitted that they owe at least CAD$50 million, but Baker's estate is entitled to up to CAD$60 billion.
