Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst has sued the band's former label Universal Music for $200 million over alleged unpaid royalties. Durst's legal team filed the papers in federal court in Los Angeles today, claiming that a deliberate flaw in Universal's royalty system meant the band – and other artists – were owed millions of dollars in unpaid royalties.

According to the legal papers, Universal has "wrongfully defrauded [the] Plaintiffs out of millions of dollars", and owes them "in excess" of $200 million.
