Prince music legal fight

A FEDERAL judge has blocked a sound engineer from releasing a five-song EP of unpublished music by Prince after the late superstar’s estate objected.

However, one of the songs is still available online.

George Ian Boxill worked with Prince on five tracks in 2006, and made at least one track, Deliverance, available for online sales.

Prince’s estate and Paisley Park Enterprises sued to block it. US District Judge Wilhelmina Wright granted a temporary restraining order to stop the music’s release. But independent label RMA says the song Deliverance was released before the judge’s ruling, so it doesn’t apply.
