MusicDish: "In a shocking statement made by Back Street Boy, Kevin Richardson, he testified that they have never received a royalty check." [Scripting News and Hack The Planet]

Also in the article: the more disturbing fact that the Music industry has a list of accountants that can do audits on a contract.
