According to the famed composer, Halo\u2019s iconic music was trademarked by the two of them under O\u2019Donnell Salvatori Inc. As such, their Halo music was licensed to Bungie, which O\u2019Donnell says happened under a deal that remained in place even as Bungie was purchased by Microsoft in 2000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Eurogamer<\/em> reports that Microsoft\u2019s counterclaim declares that the composers\u2019 Halo score actually qualifies as work-for-hire. If proven to be the case, would name Microsoft as the owner of that work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was never work-for-hire,\u201d O\u2019Donnell said. \u201cIt was always a license\u00a0deal. So that\u2019s what we did with Halo. With the first Halo music ever, that was written and recorded in 1999 for the first time. It was licensed to Bungie. Bungie didn\u2019t get bought by Microsoft for over a year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After some time back then, the composers approached Microsoft about signing over the publishing rights for the music as well as its associated copyright. O\u2019Donnell said when doing that, he wanted <span><span>\u201cto do it the way it\u2019s done in movies and television<\/span><\/span>, where the composers are still ASCAP composers, and it\u2019s not a pure work-for-hire.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2022\/02\/11\/original-halo-composers-sue-microsoft-over-unpaid-royalties-and-it-could-delay-the\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to watch embedded media<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a contract for any ancillary royalties \u2013 so use in commercials, use in anything outside the game, specifically, or sales of soundtracks,\u201d O\u2019Donnell said. \u201cO\u2019Donnell Salvatori is supposed to get 20 percent of anything outside the game that uses the music. Which is, by the way, actually reasonable. A lot of composers and music people in the movie business get more like 50 percent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Donnell and Salvatori are claiming that they have not received the royalties due to them. It\u2019s important to note that O\u2019Donnell is also going through some legal troubles in association with Bungie and his work on the Destiny franchise.

However, this lawsuit against Microsoft was filed before Bungie served O\u2019Donnell with contempt of court papers over musical tracks O\u2019Donnell uploaded to his own YouTube channel, which he was reportedly not allowed to do, as reported by <em>Eurogamer.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re just trying to get them to do this thing that we thought everybody agreed to 20 years ago,\u201d O\u2019Donnell said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In regards to the upcoming <em>Halo<\/em> TV show from Paramount, O\u2019Donnell told <em>Eurogamer<\/em> that he is instructing his lawyers to explore injunction options to get the TV show\u2019s release blocked, or at least delayed for now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2022\/02\/11\/original-halo-composers-sue-microsoft-over-unpaid-royalties-and-it-could-delay-the\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to watch embedded media<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Paramount thing just showed up on TV and Mike and I felt pretty disrespected,\u201d O\u2019Donnell said. \u201cHaving a connection to ancillary revenue from exploiting the original Halo music is exactly what this contract is all about.
