The Game’s Label Sues UMG for Under-Promoting His 2022 Album: ‘Diminished Commercial Performance’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Universal Music Group (UMG) is accused in a new lawsuit of spending just a third of the marketing budget promised for The Game’s 2022 album Drillmatic – Heart vs. Mind. The legal complaint was filed on Wednesday (Sept. 30) by 100 Entertainment, the independent record label run by The Game (Jayceon Terrell Taylor). 100 Entertainment had an exclusive distribution deal with UMG’s Virgin Music Group for Drillmatic, which debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 in August 2022 and spent two weeks on th

Read excerpt
A judge says it’ll take too long to review more than 7,000 pages of documents in litigation between Pandora and the Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC), so he’s having a jury decide the fight over streaming royalties. The MLC, a group created by the Music Modernization Act to apportion mechanical royalties from streaming services, sued Pandora in 2024 for allegedly misclassifying its free tier to avoid paying the higher rates owed by “interactive” platforms like Spotify. The SiriusXM unit deni

Read excerpt
A judge has ruled that one of the men convicted of planning a foiled terrorist attack at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour does not have viable legal claims over a depiction of his home in Disney’s docuseries about the record-breaking concert run. A 21-year-old Austrian citizen known only as Beran A. was sentenced in May to 15 years in prison for helping orchestrate a thwarted plot to violently attack Swift’s 2024 Eras Tour stop in Vienna. The Disney+ series The End of an Era, released last December, chr
