Johnson filed class actions against the five major Hollywood studios alleging endemic underpayment on home video and digital media for pre-1980s movies for writers, producer, actors and directors. He also co-counseled in three class actions against record industry companies over digital download royalties regarding years of underpayments to artists. Johnson defended blues icon B.B. King in a claim that was then voluntarily dismissed. “It's exciting to challenge practices in the music, film and television industries that violate the rights of talent for compensation they are owed,” Johnson says.
