RollingStone.com reports Aaron Carter’s lawsuit against Lou Pearlman is expected to be settled out of court. Filed June 24th in Hillsborough County, Florida, the suit claims Pearlman failed to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in royalties on the teenager’s 1998 self-titled debut album, which was released through Pearlman’s label and production company, Trans Continental. “Whether it be Backsteet, *NSYNC, or anybody else, we’ve always settled,” explained Pearlman. “We are still involved with Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync’s record royalties. We never have gone to court to fight any of our artists. We’re proud of our artists. In fact, I am very cordial with all of our artists to this day.”
