Royalties frozen from Sean Paul's 'I'm Still in Love with You Girl'

The company responsible for the sale of the record would not know who to pay until a court makes a ruling on the matter," Stowe said. "The reason this became an issue now is because the song is making money. This would probably lay low for another 50 years. It's generally when there is a hit with the song, that is why you see these cases pop up because there is money to be claimed."

It is also alleged that the producers, Steely (Wycliffe Johnson) and Clevie (Cleveland Browne), never got permission from Jamrec, the publishing arm of Coxsone Dodd's Studio One, the publisher of the song. And Alton Ellis had forfeited his copyright by selling the song to different music entities.
