Bob Dylan, label sued for $7.25 million

Bob Dylan and Universal Music Group are being sued for $7.25 million. The singer-songwriter sold the rights to his entire song catalogue to the label in December for more than $300 million, but Claudia Levy, wife of the late Jacques Levy, claims her spouse's estate hasn't received money from the deal. Jacques, who died in 2004, co-wrote seven of the nine songs on Dylan's 1976 album Desire, and Claudia insisted in a claim to Manhattan's Supreme Court that his estate is owed 35 per cent “of any and all income earned by the compositions” including “35 per cent of the purchase price paid to the Dylan defendants.”
