I'm going to go out on a whim and assume TLC didn't write their own songs (co-wrote a few tracks, maybe), like a whole lot of other pop artists in the past X years. If that is the case, and assuming that every aspect of their brand is manufactured by whichever record company they were signed to, then do they really deserve much more money for having their vocal talents and the attitude to go with it? Given the record company would have fronted the cash for the recording time, song writers, producers, promotion, video clips, etc. When it comes down to it, you can bitch about record companies all you want but sometimes (like in TLC's case) their share is justified... sorta.
Also, TLC's career spanned a decade. They would've made plenty of cash.

Oh thank god! I can finally sleep easy tonight. Phew!
Sorry, but this is no different to a judge ordering you to open a safe that is inaccessible due to a combination lock so you tell the judge, "Sorry, I honestly cannot remember the combination. However, the numbers for the combination were written in the manual which came with the lock. The three numbers range anywhere from 0-40. Good luck!"
