The money he got is most definitely not immaterial when he starts 
crusading against unfair treatment of musicians. And do a bit of 
research into how the money from these "collecting societies" is 
distributed. And one more thing regarding little men getting "shafted" 
by labels - if they don't like the terms of the contract they are 
offered then DON'T FUCKING SIGN IT. Moaning about it years later is 
frankly hyporcritical.
