Johnny Gioeli claims in his lawsuit that Sega's agreement only entitles them to the song's lyrics and not the recording or composition, thus denying him rightful compensation for the song's extensive use.
Throughout the decades, 'Live and Learn' has appeared in at least 25 different games, according to Gioeli's filing, demonstrating the extensive commercial use of the track without his consent.
In the lawsuit, Gioeli argues that he was initially compensated only for the songwriting process and had no idea his contributions would lead to the widespread use of 'Live and Learn.'
Gioeli maintains that he directly managed the song's production and performance, and thus holds rightful ownership over the master recording.
