Turtles/Flo & Eddie Lose Pre-72 Performance Royalty Lawsuit In Florida

The Turtles Battle Continues

The FLORIDA SUPREME COURT has ruled against THE TURTLES in the band's battle for royalties on pre-1972 sound recordings. In its 35-page ruling, the Court sided with the ELEVENTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS, ruling that FLORIDA common law does not recognize exclusive public performance rights for the pre-72 music.

The suit is one of a bevy of suits TURTLE co-founders FLO & EDDIE have filed against SIRIUSXM. They settled suits in CALIFORNIA  (NET NEWS 11/16/16) and elsewhere (NET NEWS, 11/29/16). They lost a Federal ruling in NEW YORK (NET NEWS, 2/16)
