Jay Z loses Legal Battle agress to pay Swiss musician 50% Royalty
Quote:
After an 18-month legal battle, Jay Z has agreed to pay half of all the royalties from his song “Versus” to a Swiss jazz musician.
Jay Z had previously denied copying Bruno Spoerri’s “Lilith — on the way” but admitted to using the music without consent a few months ago, reports the Daily Mail.
Spoerri had composed the music in 1978. Although Spoerri had rejected an initial offer that was “too low,” he noted last year that the full legal battle could have been avoided if Jay Z had called his record company earlier.
