🎯 Sony Music agrees to end lawsuit over Whitney Houston movie

On November 18, Sony Music Entertainment informed a federal court in California that it would withdraw its lawsuit against the producers and investors of the 2022 film Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody. The lawsuit alleged that 24 of Houston's iconic songs were used in the movie without proper authorization.

In a court filing, Sony stated that the case would be dismissed "with prejudice," meaning it cannot be refiled. Last month, both parties indicated they had reached a settlement but required additional time to finalize the agreement. Representatives and attorneys for either side did not immediately comment on the matter.

Houston, who passed away in 2012, signed with Arista Records in 1983—a label now under Sony Music. The lawsuit, filed in February, claimed that Sony had licensed Houston’s music to Anthem Films for the biopic and soundtrack. Although the movie was released in 2022 and earned nearly $60 million globally, Sony alleged that Anthem failed to pay the agreed licensing fees for tracks like I Wanna Dance With Somebody, How Will I Know, and I Will Always Love You.

Sony alleged that Anthem had promised payment after receiving funds owed by the state of Massachusetts but later declined to sign a repayment agreement, citing other contractual obligations with additional defendants.

The lawsuit sought at least $3.6 million in damages and a court order to prevent further infringement. However, the defendants did not respond to the allegations in court. The case, titled Sony Music Entertainment v. Anthem Films LLC, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California under case number 2:24-cv-01250.

Sony was represented by David Steinberg and Yakub Hazzard of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp, while the defendants were represented by Ashley Yeargan of Russ August & Kabat and Lincoln Bandlow.

Johnson & Johnson Reaches $6.5 Billion Settlement In Ovarian Cancer Lawsuits

(Source-Justin Sullivan_Getty Images)

Johnson & Johnson (J&J) announced on Wednesday a landmark settlement agreement with individuals alleging that the company’s talc-based baby powder led to their ovarian cancer diagnoses. This development marks a significant step in addressing the plethora of lawsuits facing the pharmaceutical giant over the safety of its iconic product.

Addressing Legal Battles

The settlement holds immense importance for Johnson & Johnson as it grapples with tens of thousands of legal claims asserting that its baby powder contained carcinogenic substances. Despite discontinuing the product in 2022, the company maintains its stance on the safety of its talc-based powder.

Financial Terms

Under the terms of the agreement, Johnson & Johnson has committed to paying a present value of $6.5 billion over a span of 25 years to resolve the ovarian cancer cases. The company asserts that this settlement represents a favorable outcome for claimants compared to potential trial outcomes.

A crucial aspect of the settlement involves a third bankruptcy filing for J&J’s subsidiary, LTL Management, to which the company transferred its talc-related liabilities. This strategic move has drawn scrutiny, especially considering previous rejections of similar filings due to courts deeming J&J financially capable of addressing claims without bankruptcy protection.

Scope and Implications: Cancer Cases

Notably, this settlement is narrower in scope compared to a previous agreement totaling $8.9 billion, which encompassed mesothelioma cases as well. However, Johnson & Johnson intends to address these mesothelioma claims separately outside of court. The company has earmarked a total of $11 billion to resolve all cancer diagnoses-related claims, including a recent charge of $2.7 billion in the first quarter of 2024.

Path Forward

The efficacy of the settlement hinges on the approval of claimants, with 75% of them needing to formally accept the deal for J&J to proceed with the bankruptcy filing. If successful, this “prepackaged” bankruptcy approach could expedite the resolution process for both the company and the affected individuals.

For individuals grappling with cancer attributed to J&J’s baby powder, the settlement offers a glimmer of hope for financial compensation. While the legal battle may continue to unfold, the agreement represents a significant step toward addressing the longstanding concerns surrounding the safety of talc-based products and seeking restitution for those affected.
