Says that arbitration is required.

All going well it will swing in Bob's favour, i'm surprised it has went down to an arbitrators decision.

I certainly hope so, but I'm not so sure about that. The O's have money for days, Bob does not. I have a feeling that this will be squashed and go in the O's favour.

Sadly, this is the same nonsense they pulled on Jake E. Lee, isn't it? SO learned at the feet of the best, and is supposedly ruthless to deal with.

This is a cautionary tale about artist rights, isn't it?

Yes it is a cautionary tale but it's a different situation from Jake's because both Jake and Bob accepted a buy-out (sold their song-writing rights) on the songs they co-wrote for Ozzy. Bob was credited for co-writing all of the songs (except for Dee) on BOO & DOAM. This case is about that songwriting and whether Bob has been paid, is being paid, and will in the future be paid the correct amount of publishing royalties according to the terms of his contract with Blizzard Music, which the Os own.
