Members of 1960s rock band The Turtles sued Sirius XM in 2013, saying that even though federal copyright doesn't apply to pre-1972 sound recordings, they deserve to get paid under state copyright laws.

The case was set to go to trial yesterday, but it appears that the two sides have worked out their disagreement. Terms of the settlement weren't disclosed. The filing of settlement papers was noted by both The Hollywood Reporter and National Law Journal.

US District Judge Philip Gutierrez had already ruled that Sirius was liable under state copyright law, so the trial would have focused on how much the band should be paid. He also ruled that some types of damages, like punitive damages, would not be available to the plaintiffs. Two former band members of The Turtles, working as "Flo & Eddie," were representing a class of thousands of owners of pre-1972 music.

After the band members filed their lawsuit, the major record labels also sued Sirius and streaming service Pandora over pre-1972 copyrights. Those cases settled for $210 million and $90 million, respectively. But those settlements didn't resolve the case brought by The Turtles.

Terrestrial radio stations aren't required to pay sound recording royalties, a situation that has long rankled record labels and some artists.

The settlement is likely to be a relief for Sirius XM defense lawyer Daniel Petrocelli, who has an even higher-profile trial coming up soon. He's representing President-elect Donald Trump in a class-action case where former students of Trump University say they were defrauded. The trial is set to begin November 28, but Petrocelli has asked for it to be delayed until January.
