The Trax Records Battle: House Music's Civil War.

Trax Records, the label that helped start the $7-billion-a-year EDM business, is in disarray as Vince Lawrence and 22 original Trax artists are locked in a legal battle over the rights to their classic music with the current co-owner of the company, Rachael Cain. The plaintiffs claim they never signed contracts selling all the rights to their work to Larry, but that he — and later Rachael — simply registered the copyright to their work to Trax anyway. They believe Trax either sold copies of that music or licensed it for movies, video games, etc., and pocketed the money.
