British Court Rules Against Jimi Hendrix Experience Successors

BBC WS backup London 14d12d Impact 5

Heirs of two members of the 1960s psychedelic rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience lost a copyright case against Sony Music Entertainment. The heirs argued they were entitled to copyright and performance rights for the band's three studio albums. London's High Court ruled the members had effectively signed over their rights in 1966, forfeiting future royalties. The estates of bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell lost a copyright case against Sony Music Entertainment in London. The dispute involved arguments regarding entitlement to copyrights, including those related to drummer Mitch Mitchell. The decision follows a case where musicians were found to have transferred those rights. The ruling was reported by BBC News. This ruling means they have forfeited any future royalties from those recordings.
