Sirius XM’s $210 million settlement with major record labels improperly sidelined copyright claims by the rock band the Turtles, ignored the class that the band’s founders represent and neglected to include attorney fees for class counsel, the band’s attorneys said in a court filing on Wednesday.
Calling the Sirius XM settlement “a brazen attempt to disrupt and interfere with the class action process and the court’s jurisdiction,” lawyers for Turtles founders Flo & Eddie asked U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez in Los Angeles to issue an injunction that would block Sirius’ $210 million deal with the record companies. Instead, Flo & Eddie’s lawyers at Gradstein & Marzano want the judge to order Sirius to place the funds into an interest-bearing account “under the court’s control and direction” until the settlement can be investigated further.
