On Dec. 20, 2016, we wrote about a decision out of England’s High Court of Justice finding that members of music group Duran Duran breached their agreements with a music publisher by filing notices to terminate assignments of copyrights in 37 of their songs under section 203 of the Copyright Act.  That decision shocked much of the legal community, given the inalienability of that termination right under the express terms of the Copyright Act.

As we now know from a complaint filed by Sir Paul McCartney earlier this week, the Duran Duran decision is also causing trouble for the legendary musician, who, himself, seeks to reclaim his copyrights.
