Why don't you advise Ari to call the fucking record company? It couldn't possibly be that hard. Didn't someone say that Tessa and Viv were getting their royalties just fine? Sometimes we get the "justice" we make for ourselves (or don't make for ourselves).

Gee Walter, that's a really brilliant idea. And who exactly would she speak to at the label? Ever try to call these big labels yourself? They're not exactly the most helpful people you'll find.

Viv has pretty much cut Ari out of the equation, claiming that she's the Slits herself. That probably means that she's signing off on the rights and the record company can then claim that it's an issue between the band members.
