Copyright Victory For Village People’s Policeman, Thanks To “Termination Rights”

“After six years of legal wrangling and decades after he wrote the lyrics to the hit song ‘YMCA,’ Victor Willis will gain control of his share of the copyright to that song and others he wrote when he was the lead singer of the 1970s disco group … [He] was able to recapture those songs, thanks to a little-known provision of copyright legislation that went into effect in 1978.”
