SoundExchange (which is in charge of collecting and distributing royalties collected from satellite radio and webcasting) can't seem to locate the artists to whom these royalties are to be paid. If the monies are not disbursed, SoundExchange gets to keep them. Apparently SoundExchange was worried about publishing the list for fear that "middlemen" would try to swipe a piece of the action for connecting artists with their royalties. (Did they ever think to reach out to the fans?)
They finally published a list of the artists they "can't find."

Check out all the major label artists they can't find:

 
A list of artist names  from SoundExchange and many of the big Cartel labels can be found at the link above, if you think you are owed royalties and used to be in a band take a peek   :)
