Pink Floyd sues EMI

How to Live Aligned with we already announce last year, Pink Floyd has taken the record company to court EMI for their differences on the sale of their songs on the Internet.

The British band does not want EMI to sell their songs individually on the network and that is why they have presented the case before the High Court in London.

The group's attorney, Robert Howe, stated that Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, David Gilmour, Roger Waters and Richard Wright «They want to know exactly what the contract commits them to»With the record company, to which they have been linked for more than 40 years.

Howe said the existing contractual arrangement includes a clause that "prohibits expressly »the sale of songs, physically or through the network,« other than that of the original configuration ».

EMI while arguing that this ban «applies only to the case of the physical product and does not affect the online product"Something that, according to Pink Floyd's lawyer,"makes no sense from a business point of view«.

The band is the second best-selling band on the label, behind only the Beatles. EMI is owned by the company Terra Firme, and its visible head is the tycoon Guy Hands.
