Page "Dead Kennedys" Paragraph 23

In the late 1990s, former band members discovered problems with the amount of payments which each band member had received from their record label Alternative Tentacles.

Former band members claimed that Jello Biafra had conspired to pay lower royalty rates to the band members.

Although both sides agreed that the failure to pay these royalties was an accounting mistake, they were upset that Biafra failed to inform the band of the mistake after he and his co-workers discovered it.
