Resnik stands: songwriters can reclaim worldwide rights in the Fifth Circuit, because the Supreme Court lacked a quorum https://wearethemusicmakers.co/news/2026/10/vetter-resnik-worldwide-termination-supreme-court-quorum With four justices sitting out, the Supreme Court had no quorum and automatically affirmed the Fifth Circuit's ruling that a US copyright termination recaptures a songwriter's worldwide rights.
