The Estate of Multi-Platinum Recording Artist Mo3 Wins Big in Jury Verdict for Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Against Former Sound Engineer

On May 13, 2025, in Dallas, the representatives managing the legacy of Melvin Noble, known professionally as Mo3, won a copyright infringement case against former audio engineer Ray Gene Bollin, who operated under Absolut Production Recording Studios.
The lawsuit involved allegations against Bollin, operating as Absolut Production Recording Studios, for violations such as copyright violation, unauthorized possession of property, and wrongful interference with contractual agreements.
The week-long trial ended with the jury affirming Mo3's sole ownership of his vocal recordings and rejecting Bollin's claims of co-ownership or co-authorship after deliberating under two hours.
