can rest easy that he won’t have to hand over a portion of his $300 million sale of his entire song catalog to Universal Music. On Friday, a New York judge rejected a complaint from the estate of Jacques Levy, who collaborated with Dylan on his 1976 albumLevy’s widow targeted at least $7.25 million from the sale of 10 songs, including “Hurricane,” but Dylan
that the songs were written under a work-for-hire agreement that only entitled him to royalties, specifically 35 percent of the licensing proceeds for the songs.

The judge also rejects the claim that Levy’s estate is a third party beneficiary of the Universal agreement.
