http://www.joelgausten.com/2016/08/rock-and-royalties-bob-daisleys-new.html"- Unfortunately, you [т.е. Bob Daisley] have a long history of financial issues with the Osbournes. When was the first sign of trouble in working with them? How was this addressed by them at the time?
- I've sued the Osbournes once. The initial financial issue had nothing to do with them. It came about when Don Arden/Jet Records didn’t pay us our performance royalties on the Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman albums, so we had to seek legal advice. This was 1982, and in fact Sharon was helping us with our case. The issues weren't to do with her or Ozzy at that point.
Lee Kerslake and I went to court against Don Arden and Jet Records in '86 and we got a payout for owed performance royalties. But the ongoing royalties from those albums didn’t continue for us.
__The first and only time that I went into court against the Osbournes was in 1998 when Lee and I found out that they had been receiving all royalties from those albums since July '83.___
- For the benefit of those who may not be fully aware of how payments work in the industry, what are the main differences between songwriting royalties and performance royalties? What is your current issue with songwriting royalties that you hope to address in this new suit?
- Performance royalties are what you receive from the sale of records that you have played on, even though it may not be a song that you wrote. Songwriting royalties through the publishing company are from songs that you wrote that either you performed or maybe even someone else performed. A good example of that is Joe Cocker’s version of ‘With A Little Help From My Friends.’ It wasn’t his song; it was a Beatles song. Joe Cocker gets the performance royalties from sales because it’s his performance of that song. But the royalties from the songwriting through the publishing company go to Lennon and McCartney because they wrote the song. That’s the basic different between the two types of royalties.
...
- Your previous late-’90s suit against the Osbournes was ultimately unsuccessful, correct?
- That was the one that was unsuccessful. The late '90s was when we found out where those royalties were going, so we took legal action against them. There are reasons I believe that case was unsuccessful, having nothing to do with the merit of our claims, but they are too complex to get into now."
http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/ozzy-osbourne-sued-by-bob-daisley-for-unpaid-royalties/"[Bob] Daisley, whose "For Facts Sake" autobiography came out in 2013, told Australia's Guitar magazine about his legal battle with the Osbournes: "I started working with Ozzy in 1979, putting the band together with Randy, and then we got [drummer] Lee Kerslake. When 'Diary Of A Madman' came out, Lee and I were ousted, and 'Diary Of A Madman' came out without our credits on it, and they credited someone else that was going on the road with them. So there was a lawsuit developed out of that, which was settled in court against Don Arden, who was Sharon's father and the owner of Jet Records. ___But later, sort of late '90s, Lee and I found out that Sharon and Ozzy were receiving our royalties from those albums, so we sued them.___ And that went on for a while. And Don Arden was going to help Lee and me fighting the case for our royalties. But when Sharon found out that her father was helping us — I mean, she hadn't spoken to him for something like eighteen years or something — all of a sudden she made up with him. And he stopped helping us and went against us and that was the end of our case. ___But it's way more complicated than that. That's a simplified version of it.___"
He continued: "We were sort of devastated, flabbergasted [when our lawsuit was dismissed by the judge]. [We] just couldn't believe it.
"I remember when our lawyer took on the case, and ___he took it on a contingency basis, which means no win, no fee___. So he was very sure that he had a good case. And he used to say to us, 'It's not if you're gonna win, it's how much.'"
