US record label Sanctuary sued for 50 million dollars

Excerpt:

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - A US music group said it had sued the owner of the world's largest independent music catalog for 50 million dollars for allegedly failing to supply albums for release in a hybrid disc format.

The 5.1 entertainment group said it had filed suit against British-based Sanctuary Records Group for alleged breach of contract and fraud linked to a deal to supply albums by artists including Morrissey, Black Sabbath, Eric Clapton, Robert Plant and Meat Loaf.

The 5.1 group claims in its suit filed in Los Angeles in July that Sanctuary deliberately flouted a 2003 deal to supply music to 5.1 for release in the DualDisc format, a hybrid compact disc and DVD.
