We moved most of what was formerly stored there earlier this year to our other facilities.\u201d The suit claims that was a big, fat lie.<\/p>\n<p>According to the lawsuit, UMG filed insurance claims of at least $150 MILLION based on the fact the master recordings were destroyed \u2026 and they did not share a penny of that with the artists. The suit claims UMG intentionally tried to deceive the artists by concealing the payments.<\/p>\n<p>The suit asks for more than $100 mil. No word on other artists who may join the class action.<\/p>\n<p>UMG reportedly had no comment on the lawsuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2019\/06\/22\/universal-music-master-recordings-fire-lawsuit-tupac-hole-tom-petty\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- adman_adcode_after --><\/p>\n<p class=\"dpsp-share-text\">Sharing is caring!<\/p>\n<p class=\"gasd_author\"><a href=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/about-me\" rel=\"author\" title=\"Profile for Dalelorenzo Johnson\">Profile for Dalelorenzo Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\"><span class=\"cat-links\">Posted in <a href=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/category\/categorized\/news\" rel=\"category tag\">News<\/a><\/span>\t<\/footer>\n<p><!-- .entry-footer --><\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/tupac-estate-hole-petty-sue-universal-music-over-destruction-of-epic-songs\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tupac Estate, Hole, Petty Sue Universal Music \u2026 Over Destruction of Epic Songs 6\/22\/2019 7:29 AM PDT The Tupac Estate, Tom Petty\u2018s ex-wife, Hole and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-168403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168403\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
