Arista v. Greubel case settled over a year ago

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

We have just learned that in Arista v. Greubel, the Texas case in which the Nettwerk Music company was reportedly funding the defendant's defense, the case was dismissed with prejudice pursuant to a joint stipulation of dismissal over a year ago.

[Ed. Note. The fact that it was dismissed with prejudice pursuant to a joint stipulation means it was settled. No doubt the settlement was secret, which is presumably why the defendant's lawyers never even told me about the dismissal, even though it's a matter of public record. -R.B.]
