Eagles sue Geffen and Warner over copyrights and contracts
The Eagles filed a lawsuit against former manager David Geffen and Warner Bros Music seeking damages in the millions. Plaintiffs Glen Frey Randy Meisner Don Henley and others claim Geffen violated antitrust laws by signing the band to simultaneous contracts with Asylum and Compound Music while managing them. They allege later moves and transfers involving Benchmark Music and Warner Bros Music affected their song rights and Desperado grand rights. The suit aims to reclaim copyright to Eagles material and damages, not renegotiation of the Asylum contract.
