Weird Al Yankovic Settles Multi Million Lawsuit Against Sony Music

Apparently, Sony Music had not being giving Weird Al Yankovic his due for what he was owed from various uses of Yankovic’s content. 

Amidst several allegations, the music video for “White and Nerdy” was big on YouTube for Sony Music and Yankovic saw little money from that.

Looks like we’re all still figuring out how to make a feasible online content model that’s fair to artists and lucrative enough for investors/companies.
