The UK High Court ruled against the estates of Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell, former bandmates of Jimi Hendrix, dismissing their 2021 lawsuit seeking royalties from Hendrix's recordings. The court confirmed that the copyrights belonged exclusively to Hendrix's managers under a 1966 agreement, not the musicians or their estates. Sony Music, licensed by Hendrix's estate, was found not to have infringed copyrights. This decision ends claims for unpaid royalties from Hendrix's hit albums, securing Sony's rights to continue distributing the music.
