Has anyone actually heard of the band doing the suing?
It wouldn't surprise me if the settlement was in the region of a couple of thousand $.
IMO The American Dollar could be described as a minor band at best (I know it's not an infallible source of info, but when Wikipedia doesn't even have a listing of any of your songs then you're going nowhere) so are just angry that everyone's been ignoring them and saw this as a get rich quick scheme.
