MANHATTAN (CN) - Weird Al Yankovic and Sony Music Entertainment have settled a $5 million lawsuit that the singer's company filed against the record label in March 2012.
Details of the settlement were not immediately known. Yankovich's law firm didn't immediately return a request for comment on Tuesday, and Sony declined to comment.
