December 6, 2010 ¡V King & Ballow attorneys Daniel B. Moskowitz and Patrick W.

The deal is the latest in a series of successes for King & Ballow's Entertainment Law Section, chaired by Partner Richard S. Busch, including its recent win in the Ninth Circuit case, F.B.T. Productions, LLC v. Aftermath Records, et al., where Mr. Busch represented the plaintiff, who discovered, produced, and co-wrote some of recording artist Eminem's biggest hits, in a ruling that the agreements between record label Universal and digital download providers like iTunes, are licenses, and Eminem's recording agreement entitles him and F.B.T. to 50% of Universal's net receipts for sales of Eminem songs by iTunes and others.
