Pink Floyd have launched a legal battle against bosses at record label EMI, in a dispute over online royalty payments.

The Wall hitmakers were represented by lawyer Robert Howe at London's High Court on Tuesday, where Howe challenged EMI's ability to "unbundle" the band's albums and sell individual tracks online.

Howe claims a contractual clause between the parties "expressly prohibited" such "unbundling", or the selling of tracks other than in their original configuration whether in physical or digital forms.

The rockers, who signed with EMI over 40 years ago, are also disputing how the marketing costs of its music are calculated. The case continues.
