Re: over paid
Basically yes.
If there is difficulty in recouping and there is a collection agent involved those deprived of Royalties will need to addrees a claim against the Collection agent.
Assuming the obligation to repay does not depend on Contract (and it shouldn't since Royalties are a right to payment in copyright) the six year limitation period does not apply.
