Pedroza Wins in 'Fifty Shades' Case

A jury has sided with Jennifer Lynn Pedroza in a dispute over royalty rights for Fifty Shades of Grey. Pedroza was one of four original partners in the start-up company that first published the series. The verdict has no impact on Penguin Random House.

The Writer's Coffee Shop eventually sold the publishing rights to the books to Random House.  Damages will be assessed at a later court hearing after a forensic audit determines Pedroza's appropriate share of royalties.
