Glad to see nothing has changed since Virgin (on the ridiculous) ripped 
me off when I was a audio contractor for the record shop back in the 
day, then... they still owe, no chance of collecting though.

They once had a muso arrested for asking for his royalties, which had 
not been paid; I was there... in the early days of the record company.

Richard Branson, people's champion. The companies may change, the ethos 
does not.
