Elsewhere, MBW broke the news in December that Moxey had been hit by a lawsuit from Sony Music – to whom Moxey sold his Ultra Records label in late 2021.
Sony’s lawsuit (via Ultra Records LLC), filed against Moxey’s 18-year-old fully independent publishing company in November 2022, centered around Moxey’s continued use of the ‘Ultra’ name. Ultra International Music Publishing, LLC which was first incorporated in the US in August 2004.
On Thursday (January 19), Moxey/UIMP filed a counterclaim against Sony Music’s lawsuit in the court of the Southern District of New York, and used this document to directly reply to each of the major’s accusations.Music Business Worldwide
