Drake Goes To Court, Miley Cyrus Strikes Back, UMG Fights Limp Bizkit Case & More Music Law News
Drake v. UMG, the Miley Cyrus case and the Limp Bizkit lawsuit are among the cases covered in this roundup of the latest developments in music law.
UMG, for its part, quickly fired back, calling the allegations “offensive and untrue” and stressing that it employs the “highest ethical practices” in promotion: “No amount of contrived and absurd legal arguments in this pre-action submission can mask the fact that fans choose the music they want to hear.” JUST ONE OF THOSE SUITS – Universal Music Group (UMG) fired back at a lawsuit from Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst claiming the label owes the band more than $200 million, calling the allegations “fiction” and demanding they be thrown out of court.
