His son told BBC News that he found more than 6,000 unauthorized copies of his songs on Google, Apple and Amazon's devices. A 148-page filing in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles claims that streaming services are inundated with bootleg copies of Arlen's songs, preventing his estate from collecting royalties. But another version is apparently available on the Stardust Records label – with the same cover art but the RCA logo edited out – for only $0.89. According to BBC News, some of the recordings cited by Arlen's lawyers are still protected by copyright in Europe. Fox News reached out to Google, Apple and Amazon for comment and will update the story as needed.
