Overview
Pink Floyd have been successful in their court action against EMI for allowing their albums to be sold by individual track on iTunes.
The current Pink Floyd contract with EMI signed in 1999 had a clause stating that EMI could not "unbundle" the albums.
In court, the lawyer for EMI argued that the clause only related to physical product sales such as CD or vinyl recordings. Note, that in 1999, the digital age was not yet upon us.
The London High Court ruled today that the words made no difference by format and that EMI can "only sell the Pink Floyd albums in their entirety".
EMI has ordered to pay Pink Floyd's $90,000 legal fees and is not allowed to dispute the decision.
