They get money from it now. Richards and Jagger were against the lawsuit but they didn't own their song at the time. After Klein's death they got the royalties to go to The Verve.
"In 2019, ten years after Klein's death, Jagger, Richards, and Klein's son ceded the rights to the Verve songwriter, Richard Ashcroft."
