Earache Records Sues Century Media Records Affiliate The Century Family - Death Metal Label Says Distributor Owes It
March 28, 2014, 10 years ago
British metal label Earache Records claims in court that a US distributor owes it $250,000 in licensing fees, and broke a promise to release a catalog of hundreds of albums, reports Matt Reynolds for Courthouse News Service.
Earache sued New York-based The Century Family, an affiliate of the nonparty record label Century Media Records, of Dortmund, Germany, in Federal Court. The Century Family and Does 1-10 are the only defendants.
Earache claims Century Family breached a January 2013 agreement to market and distribute its music, and ducked its obligations by falsely claiming Earache had breached a three-year licensing agreement.
