[QUOTE="Admin, post: 55535, member: 1"] The Halo composers who sued Microsoft over unpaid royalties have seemingly settled the lawsuit. [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/report-original-halo-composers-are-suing-microsoft-over-unpaid-royalties']Marty O'Donnell and Mike Salvatori filed the suit in February[/URL] claiming that Microsoft was not paying them the agreed upon amount for using their music in the upcoming Halo TV series. In a tweet earlier today, however, O'Donnell said that "Microsoft and O'Donnell/Salvatori Inc are pleased to have amicably resolved their differences." The pair had originally claimed they signed a contract with Microsoft that guaranteed them 20% of the profits made from their music, such as in the Halo TV show, soundtracks, and so on. O'Donnell told [URL='https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2022-02-10-original-halo-music-composers-threaten-to-try-to-block-tv-show-amid-lawsuit-with-microsoft-over-unpaid-royalties']Eurogamer[/URL] at the time: "If this is 20% then it doesn't seem like Microsoft is really making much money." Microsoft disagreed, saying that their music was made as work-for-hire, meaning it owned the music and not them. A pre-trial date was set for May 9 this year but now, due to the apparent settlement, proceedings will have been called off. The Halo TV show premiered in March on Paramount+ and four out of an eventual nine episodes have aired so far. In our 7/10 review of episode one, IGN said: "While the Halo series struggles the capture the dynamic action of the games, the first episode succeeds in building a compelling narrative that forges its own path." IGN has reached out to Microsoft for comment. [I]Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelancer who occasionally remembers to tweet @thelastdinsdale. He'll talk about The Witcher all day.[/I] [url="https://www.ign.com/articles/halo-composers-reportedly-settle-lawsuit-with-microsoft"]Continue reading...[/url] [/QUOTE]
