Sting and his former bandmates have been in court over a royalties dispute-the latest chapter in the song's fractious story
Last week's UK high court hearings between Sting and his former Police bandmates, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers, are the latest chapter in the life of a song whose negative energy seems to have seeped out into real life.
Every Breath You Take is the subject of a lawsuit filed by Copeland and Summers against Sting, alleging that he owes them royalties linked to their contributions to the song, particularly from streaming earnings, estimated at $2m in total. Sting's legal team have countered that previous agreements between him and his bandmates over their royalties from the song do not include streaming revenue - and argued in pretrial documents that the pair may have been "substantially overpaid". On the hearing's opening day, it was revealed that since the lawsuit was filed, Sting has paid them $870,000 to redress what his lawyer called "certain admitted historic underpayments". But there are still plenty of future potential earnings up for debate.
