The record industry itself has a long history of cheating the performers and creators out of their just due, from Alan Lomax, a producer, putting his own copywright on unclaimed songs to collect royalties to Fantasy Records tricking John Fogerty into a contract that forced him to pay royalties to the record company every time he performed his own songs.
In this case they really are reaping what they've sown. No sympathy from this corner at all.
