Jessica Litman, a copyright law professor at Wayne State\'s Law School, commented about a lawsuit that will examine copyright and contracts law as they apply to music. Jim Diamond, the Detroit producer who recorded the first two White Stripes albums, has sued the band in U.S. District Court claiming he played a pivotal role in creating the band\'s signature sound but has never received his fair share of the millions of dollars the albums generated. The White Stripes say the lawsuit is baseless. Litman said it\'s far from a guaranteed victory. \"Unless he can show that all of them intended they would jointly be the authors and they would all have creative control, it\'s a tough case to win,\" she said.
