Another case of cool kids turning into obnoxious adults

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Music | Pink Floyd pupils claim royalties: "Former schoolchildren who sang on Pink Floyd's 1979 single Another Brick in The Wall have begun action for unpaid royalties."

You have to think that when these children went on their special mission to record those three lines that became an cult outcry against the abuses of public education, it was an adventure, probably a pretty glorious one at that. To come back so many years later and dishonor that is wrong. Since they were not actual members of the band, royalties should not be paid and given the minimum wage here is the states was under $2.00 an hour at the I can't see where the band could owe them much (have no clue what the minimum wage was in England at the time)

The school was paid 1000 pounds which should more than cover the brief use of its students. But Heck be generous send them signed copies and tell them to get on with life.
