For him, it's a win because he now has legal ownership of his own property.
I agree it's not a financial win, because 50 years of past residuals are never going to be his.
From an ownership perspective though, it's probably a big win for him.
Remember, this is a guy who got sued for writing a song that sounded too much like himself.
What I do wonder though is whether this is the end of Credence Clearwater Revisited. That was Doug's and Stu's project of playing those hits they were originally on.
Fogarty sued them over the music & name, but lost because he didn't have rights to the songs and the record company owned the name.
He owns the songs now.
