Order Halts New Record by Osmond
A Los Angeles federal judge Tuesday issued a temporary restraining order against a record company belonging to former Lt. Gov. Mike Curb, stopping it from releasing a “comeback” single recorded by singer Donny Osmond.
Curb Records had said that it had exclusive rights to distribute Osmond’s single and album, while Capitol Records asserted that it had the sole distribution rights.
Both firms asked U.S. District Judge Robert M. Takasugi to issue a temporary restraining order. Curb wanted to stop Capitol from releasing the Osmond album; Capitol asked that Curb be ordered not to release the hit single from the album.
Takasugi ruled in favor of Capitol, which said it had spent more than $1 million to publicize and promote Osmond’s album, his first in 10 years.
