Sting pays $800K to Police bandmates, still disputes the streaming beat
Since being taken to court in London by former Police bandmates Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland, Sting pays over $800,000 in royalties. The claim, filed last September, accuses him of owing between $2 million and $10.75 million in unpaid earnings.
Summers and Copeland contest they’ve been historically underpaid, demanding arranger's fees from digital exploitation. Sting disputes streaming revenues fall under sales, arguing instead they're public performances.
