Pink Floyd sells music rights and likeness to Sony for €362 million

Pink Floyd has agreed to sell their music catalog and rights to their name and likeness to Sony Music for €362 million ($400 million). This deal marks a significant change after years of internal conflicts among band members. The agreement includes recorded music rights but excludes songwriting rights, which remain with individual writers. It also covers merchandise and theatrical rights. This sale follows a period of tension, particularly between band members Roger Waters and David Gilmour. Gilmour expressed a desire to end the ongoing disputes, stating he wanted to move on from the conflicts surrounding the band's legacy.
