Subject: Duran Duran 'shocked' after losing legal copyright battle
Written By: Philip Eno on 12/02/16 at 11:45 am
Pop group Duran Duran have said they are "outraged and saddened" at losing a High Court fight to reclaim US rights to some of their most famous songs.
"We are shocked that English contract law is being used to overturn artists' rights in another territory," said founder member Nick Rhodes.
The group had argued that US copyright laws gave them the right to call for a reversion of copyright after 35 years.
Girls on Film, Rio and A View to a Kill were among the disputed tracks.

They were British performers who signed a British contract with a British corporation. The court's ruling was an obvious one.
