Pink Floyd

In March 2010, Rock band Pink Floyd won its court battle with EMI with a ruling that prevents the record company from selling single downloads on the Internet from the group's concept albums.

The band, whose albums include "The Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall," went to court to challenge EMI's right to "unbundle" their records and sell individual tracks online.

Judge Andrew Morritt accepted arguments by the group that EMI was bound by a contract forbidding it from selling records other than as complete albums without written consent.

The judge ordered EMI to pay Pink Floyd's costs in the case, estimated at £60,000 and refused the company permission to appeal.
