2004 trial
In 2004 music editor Lionel Sawkins sued Hyperion. Sawkins was demanding royalties on his musical copyrights.
Hyperion insisted that the editions were not original compositions. The case went in favor of the plaintiff. His demand was relatively minor; Hyperion had a cost of over £ 100,000 from the fall. The future of the publisher was therefore uncertain at the time. Musicians, consumers and composers donated to enable Hyperion to survive.
