On May 8, 2017, the Court entered an Order Granting Plaintiffs’ Motions for Final Approval of Class Action Settlement and for Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Incentive Awards which approved the Settlement and on May 16, 2017 the Court entered Final Judgment.

Beginning June 30, 2017, Settlement Class Members will have until December 31, 2017 to make a claim of ownership for their Pre-1972 Sound Recordings.
