That appears to be the total that the company says they received, so Harry Shearer would have only received a fraction of that.
He would have to share his music royalties with the other writers: Christopher Guest, Rob Reiner, and Michael McKean.
The suit filed by Shearer in the Central District Court of California earlier today is seeking punitive and compensatory damages from the two Vivendi subsidiaries due to underpayment of music royalties.
According to Variety, Vivendi reported a total of $98 in soundtrack sales between 1989 and 2006, and only $81 in worldwide merchandising income between 1984 and 2006.
