Write a warm, compelling news report centered on The Police’s ongoing legal battle over royalties, focusing on the $800,000 already paid and the claim that it’s insufficient. Include why Sting’s bandmates say they’re owed more for “digital exploitation” and how a 2016 agreement vs. earlier 1981/1997 arrangements is shaping the dispute. Ground the piece in the reported facts: the High Court hearing in London, the potential streaming implications, and the broader impact on streaming royalties.
