Judge Andrew Morritt ordered EMI to pay Pink Floyd’s estimated $60,000 in court costs. Pink Floyd also objected to the way EMI paid royalties for downloads. EMI had argued that online sales were separate to physical records, and were not covered in the band’s most recent contract, negotiated in 1993.

British rock icons Pink Floyd, best known for the Division Bell, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, The Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, etc has become one of EMI's most lucrative contracts since it was first signed in 1967.

The today's ruling came out in a long-running legal case between British rock icons Pink Floyd and EMI that saw Pink Floyd sue its record label, saying its contract prohibited selling songs "unbundled" from their original album setting. However, EMI said that the ruling was not an end to the complex case, and that the judge's decision was not an order to stop selling single Pink Floyd tracks.
