The Time vs The estate

https://www.billboard.com...te-update/

Sample :

In June, Day’s attorneys submitted formal notice that he planned to terminate the estate’s control over his songwriting stakes in “Jungle Love,” which hit No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “The Bird,” which reached No. 36 on the chart. Both songs also appeared prominently in Purple Rain.

If the termination process is completed, Day would recover a 50% share of the “Jungle Love” composition and a 33 percent stake in “The Bird” composition, according to the filings. The remaining shares of those songs, originally owned by Prince, would still be owned by the estate.

But in practice, such filings are often simply a starting point, leading to a renegotiation of rights deals rather than an outright termination.

Representatives for both halves of the Prince estate did not return requests for comment.
