Record label loses in court alleged rights over Bob Marley's greatest hits!

On June 4th, Judge Richard Meade, of the English Court, ruled against Cayman Music, who claimed the rights to thirteen songs by Bob Marley, written between 1973 and 1976, including "No Woman No Cry". The lawsuit originated due to an agreement signed in 1992 (11 years after Marley's death) between Cayman Music and Blue Mountain (Island Records), in which Cayman claims that 13 songs did not have the rights transferred. The thirteen tracks written by Marley were attributed to other composers by him, to prevent the rights to the songs from ending up in the hands of the record company, according to a clause in the contract. Up for grabs were "Crazy Baldhead", "Johnny Was", "Natty Dread", "No Woman No Cry", "Positive Vibration", "Rat Race", "Rebel Music (Road Block)", "Talking Blues", "Them Belly Full", "Want More", "War", "Who The Cap Fit" and "So Jah Seh".
