That would be nice, but as the original complaint was about Thomas' making available "over 1,700" songs, obviously certain artists were cut out when they trimmed it down to 22 for the trial. I'd imagine the artists would open a brand new can of worms arguing over why their song was cut from the initial list, and therefore denying them due compensation. I'm sure the RIAA doesn't want to go there.
