What if All States Take Record Companies to Court?

Writing in his "Communication Nation" column exclusively for Advertising Industry Newswire, Scott G (recording artist The G-Man) makes a startling suggestion: 49 more states should sue the major record companies.

(PRWEB) May 19, 2006 -- Everyone in the music business knows that Universal Music Group will pay a $12,000,000 fine for illegal practices (commonly called payola). The charges were brought by Eliot Spitzer, Attorney General of the state of New York, and the money will go to... the state of New York.

This got Scott G to wondering about the verdict. "Why will the money only go to one state? What about the musicians and fans in all the other states?"
