Court hears copyright dispute over Turtles' 'Happy Together'
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York's highest court has heard oral arguments in a case pitting the owner of The Turtles' 1967 hit song "Happy Together" against Sirius XM Radio.
Sirius XM Radio argues it's not required to pay royalties for recordings made before the federal Copyright Act was changed in 1972 to establish limited protections for recordings.
