3LAU sued by former collaborator over $11 million NFT project

An interesting lawsuit was filed last week against DJ and producer 3lau in a dispute over a mega-bucks NFT auction that he staged in early 2021 linked to his 2018 album ‘Ultraviolet’.3lau – real name Justin Blau – has been sued by Luna Aura, who co-wrote and appeared on ‘Walk Away’, a track that appeared on ‘Ultraviolet’.The producer’s NFT auction that coincided with the third anniversary of the record offered buyers various products and perks, all linked to his 2018 record, and some specifically to ‘Walk Away’. The auction generated more than $11 million for the producer.In her lawsuit Luna Aura – real name Angela Anne Flores – says that, while Blau owns the copyright in the recording of ‘Walk Away’, she has a stake in the song copyright, and is also due an artist royalty under contract from the exploitation of the recording.

Which they frequently won’t.There are industry conventions for how revenues should be split between the recording rights and the song rights whenever recorded music is exploited, but those splits differ depending on the usage,
