Music Labels Secure Win in Copyright Suit Over Documentary Music; Bloomberg Law, February 5, 2026

 

, Bloomberg Law; Music Labels Secure Win in Copyright Suit Over Documentary Music

"A group of music labels secured near-total victory in a copyright-infringement lawsuit against the seller of ten documentaries about various bands.

Coda Publishing Ltd. and its owner willfully infringed more than 100 songs by the Rolling Stones, ABBA, U2, Nirvana, Elton John, Lynyrd Skynrd, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, the US District Court for the Southern District of New York said. The Wednesday order, citing reasons stated orally in court earlier that day, resolved summary judgment motions filed in 2021 in a case that had been stayed since a 2022 discovery sanctions ruling against the labels."
