## Labels' Supreme Court bid
Three major labels and BMG failed to get the US Supreme Court to overturn a ruling that artists can use termination rights to regain global copyright.
## Ruling details
The US federal appeals court ruled in January on 1963 song 'Double Shot (Of My Baby’s Love)' by Cyril Vetter.
## Court action
Four Supreme Court justices withdrew, leaving the case unresolvable and other courts not bound to follow the same ruling.

> Billboard noted that "other appeals courts, including those covering New York and Los Angeles, are not bound to rule the same way"
## Key takeaway

Three major music labels failed to get the US Supreme Court to overturn a 2026 ruling that artists can use termination rights to regain global copyright.
