Pink Floyd Wins Court Battle Against EMI Over Online Royalties


Pink Floyd has won its legal battle with EMI over online royalties and unbundling of its albums. The group’s lawyers told the High Court in London that it disputed the calculations for digital sales royalties, and was opposed to the selling of individual tracks online.

Judge Andrew Morritt ruled in favor of Pink Floyd. EMI will no longer be able to sell Pink Floyd’s records other than as complete albums without written consent.

EMI must pay £40,000 ($60,000) in costs as in interim payment, while the judge is still deciding the level of fine.
