By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 30 March 2010
US music publisher and rights administrators Bluewater Music have sued EMI over allegations the major has failed to pay royalties to various songwriters they represent. The lawsuit relates to the use of 24 songs by EMI on compilations and ringtones, and among the songwriters allegedly owed money are country song man Chris LeDoux and the Doobie Brothers.
The case is likely to go to court in May.
