Poison Sue Former Label Over Royalties Miscalculation

June 20, 2008
Poison Sue Former Label Over Royalties MiscalculationAmerican rock band Poison are suing their former record label over a miscalculation of royalties dating back to the 80s.

The group, fronted by Bret Michaels, filed papers in Los Angeles against EMI Music Marketing and Capitol Records as the result of underpayment and a breach of contract stipulations.

Poison’s lawsuit apparently states that the band attempted to access financial records, which were in the hands of Capitol, but the firm failed to cooperate.

Unable to distinguish exactly how much money is owed to the band their lawsuit has called for a judge to order a full and independent audit of Capitol’s books.
