Litigation Partner and author of Copyright Lately, Aaron Moss, was quoted in Puck regarding Miley Cyrus’ motion to dismiss a lawsuit alleging "Flowers" copied "When I Was Your Man" challenges whether co-owners like Tempo Music have standing to sue. The case could significantly impact how co-ownership rights are enforced in the entertainment industry. 

Excerpts: 

That’s a huge issue that could unsettle how the entertainment industry works. As litigator Aaron Moss noted, “Music publishers and record labels frequently hold fractional shares of songs, and under the same precedent, they could face similar obstacles enforcing their rights without unanimous agreement from co-owners.” It’s hardly the music industry, alone, with a stake in the issue: Co-ownership exists across the entertainment universe.
