not personal, just business. |
I thought sole ownership of the name was to Mick and John, thereby meaning they legally could release an "FM" album even if it were only those two playing lyric-less drum-n-bass music if they so desired.
To my knowledge, there is no current recording contract or future royalty agreement between the members of the band, and no reason why this would've changed between 2013 (the last release of music under the FM name, and of course sans Christine, when they were under no recording contract) and now. I have no official verification of this, but I'm thinking this was done for reasons other than legal obligations. Just my .02
