Universal Music defends dismissal of Salt-N-Pepa masters ownership lawsuit

Universal Music Group filed a brief Tuesday defending its dismissal of Salt-N-Pepa's lawsuit seeking to reclaim ownership of their first four albums through copyright termination rights. UMG argues the 1986 contracts classified the albums as "works-for-hire," making them ineligible for reclamation under the Copyright Act. The case is now before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
