The heirs of Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti have won a legal battle against Sony Music regarding disputed rights. The Italian Supreme Court (Corte di Cassazione) ruled in favor of Battisti's heirs, rejecting Sony Music's claim for seven million euros in damages. This decision marks a definitive end to the conflict over Battisti's rights and is expected to set a new legal precedent concerning artists' rights versus major music companies. The ruling was influenced by the efforts of Battisti's wife and highlights the growing recognition of artists' rights in the music industry. In a separate case, the Yogyakarta High Court dismissed appeals related to the ownership dispute of the Indonesian band KotaK, allowing guitarist Cella and the band to move forward without further legal challenges.
Battisti batte Sony (e Mogol) grazie alla lotta della moglie. Gli artisti contano quanto le major. La sentenza della Corte segna non solo lo stop definitivo a un conflitto ben delimitato, ma è destinato a aprire un varco giurisprudenziale. @stefanomannucc1
