In a statement given to the music and entertainment magazine, Sony and the estate said, “Regardless of how the Supreme Court may rule, the parties to the lawsuit mutually decided to end the litigation, which would have potentially included additional appeals and a lengthy trial court process.” They further stated that taking the songs off of the 2010 project was “the simplest and best way to move beyond the conversation associated with these tracks once and for all.”
Serova issued a statement as well, saying everything had been resolved without detailing why exactly. Additionally, both sides failed to explain what would come out of their settlement.
