Yikes!
Bob Marley‘s family has lost a lawsuit seeking ownership of his most famous songs!
Executives at UMG Recordings were declared the rightful owners of copyrights to five albums that Marley recorded between 1973 and 1977 for Island Records including Catch a Fire, Natty Dread and Exodus.
The Marley family accused UMG execs of keeping royalties that belonged to them and ignoring a 1995 agreement assigning them rights under the original recording agreements.
That’s too bad!
