artistic integrity or money?

I was reading the news when I came across an article about the Smashing Pumpkins suing Virgin records. Basically they are suing them for damaging their artistic integrity by using their music in Pepsi promotions. At first I agreed with the Smashing Pumpkins till I got to the details of the lawsuit, they demand all the profits. Now I can understand needing to pay for legal council and everything but if it is about artistic integrity then why not give the profits to charity. If you want to read the article it can be found on yahoo in the entertainment news.

I guess my question is do you believe it is about artistic integrity or the money with this case and all other cases like it?
