flag Former Police members sue Sting for $2M in streaming royalties, citing old contract terms.

flag Former Police members Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland are suing Sting in London’s High Court, seeking over $2 million in unpaid streaming royalties, arguing their 15% arranger’s fee—agreed upon in the 1970s and reaffirmed in 2016—applies to digital streams. flag Sting’s legal team disputes this, saying the 2016 agreement limits payments to mechanical income from physical record manufacturing, not streaming, and notes Sting has already paid over $800,000 in past underpayments. flag The case, which hinges on contract interpretation, is ongoing, with a full trial expected later.
