Add Bing vs. UMG

ROAD TO PAYDAY: "Recording artists have a long history of being taken advantage of by their labels," said Mary Crosby, Bing’s daughter, "and despite the incredible contribution my father made to the world of music, he was no exception… It seems that record companies prefer to keep things in litigation for as long as possible because most people don't have the resources to stick it out. This tactic generally works, because the majority of artists settle out of court for far less than they're due." A UMG spokesman said the company had no comment. (7/7a)
