LimeWire Pays RIAA $105 Million, Artists Get Nothing
Quote:
In the midst of their jury trial, the company behind the defunct LimeWire client and the RIAA settled their dispute out of court. Limewire will pay $105 million to compensate the major music labels for damages suffered. A moment of justice for the music industry, but not necessarily for the artists. The recouped money is destined for reinvestment in new anti-piracy efforts and will not be used to compensate any artists.

got to love an industry that justify their lawsuit based on the harm it does the artist and then just pockets the money themselves.
