Sony Music again this week argued that a copyright dispute with former members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience should be pursued in the courts in New York not London.Lawsuits have been filed on both sides of the Atlantic, but – Sony’s legal rep said – the US case should be prioritised, because the outcome in that will “save time, money and resources” when it comes to the UK litigation.This dispute is between Sony Music and the Jimi Hendrix’s estate on one side, and UK-based companies representing the estates of the other two members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience band – Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell – on the other.The latter claim they control rights in relation to the Experience catalogue which are being infringed by the Hendrix estate and its music distribution partner, which is Sony Music.The Hendrix estate counters that, after Hendrix’s death in 1970, both Redding and Mitchell signed agreements via which they basically gave up any copyright or royalty claims in relation to recordings made by the Jimi Hendrix Experience in return for “significant monetary consideration”.Neither Redding nor Mitchell ever subsequently raised any issues with those agreements while they were still alive.But the Redding and Mitchell companies argue that the 1970s agreements didn’t actually see the two musicians assign any rights and only related to revenues generated by the recordings at that time, which obviously didn’t include any digital income.Anticipating that the Redding and Mitchell companies were prepping legal action in the UK, the Hendrix estate and Sony Music filed legal action in New York seeking court confirmation that the 1970s agreements were still in force.

Not every stunt on the new “John Wick” movie went off without a hitch.

Ed Sheeran has released his latest single ‘Eyes Closed’ along with its official music video, which serves as a metaphor for the themes of loss and grief contained in the song’s lyrics.Directed by Mia Barnes, the video shows Sheeran being followed by a blue monster, symbolising grief, which grows bigger and bigger as the song progresses.Originally written several years ago as a break up song, the track took on new meaning following the death of two of Sheeran’s friends – SBTV founder Jamal Edwards in February last year, and cricketer Shane Warne a month later.“This song is about losing someone, feeling like every time you go out and you expect to just bump into them, and everything just reminds you of them and the things you did together”, says Sheeran. “You sorta have to take yourself out of reality sometimes to numb the pain of loss, but certain things just bring you right back into it”.On the video, he adds: “When I was thinking of concepts for the ‘Eyes Closed’ music video, I wanted to make a video inspired by movies like [1950 film] ‘Harvey’, where the main character has an imaginary friend who’s a giant rabbit that no one can see”.“There’s also a book I read my daughters where sadness is encapsulated by an imaginary creature”, he continues.
