Frank Peterson (born 20 December 1963)[1] is a German music producer known for his work with Enigma and artists such as Sarah Brightman, Ofra Haza, Gregorian, Princessa, and Andrea Bocelli on his first international album, Romanza.
The female vocals for this album were provided by The Sisters of Oz—a duo composed of Birgit Freud and Susana Espelleta, who was married to Peterson at the time.
On 16 April 2009, Billboard reported that Peterson had filed a lawsuit at the Higher District Court in Hamburg against Google/YouTube,[3] claiming that his music videos and other audiovisual repertoire were used illegally.
[citation needed] He stated that more than 125 million streams of his productions—for which he owns the copyrights and master rights as author, publisher, and producer—had been viewed, for which he never received payment from Google/YouTube.
[citation needed] Lutz Melzer, junior partner at the firm, said: "The lawsuit includes our demand for injunction, for information, and accounting about the figures of the usage and the turnover, especially from advertising.
