Vivendi SA’s music labels and Time Warner Inc. are seeking arbitration in a copyright case in which the labels charged that “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” played its recordings without a license.
Lawyers for the two sides said they’d entered into an arbitration agreement and asked U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson to halt the case and transfer it to binding arbitration, according to a filing in federal court in Los Angeles yesterday.
