From www.abc.net.au: Ron Strykert, lead guitarist of Men At Work, is seeking to reclaim royalties from an American music financing company, Royalty Advance Funding, which advanced him $150,000 in 2007 in exchange for his royalty rights.
A Melbourne accountant involved with the band has filed a case in Victoria’s Supreme Court to determine whether future royalties should be directed to Strykert or the US firm.
Both parties are now claiming entitlement to the ongoing royalties from the band’s hits, including “Down Under.”
