It didn't work - the parties couldn't agree on an amount. So the case went to trial. That's standard practice.

And Jack is an entertainment lawyer - both parties were represented by lawyers. Which means lawyers were able to argue both sides of the case. It means lawyers may disagree about the facts of the case. The fact that he is a lawyer doesn't necessarily mean he is correct. Especially bc he's raising irrelevant issues like sampling - this case ain't about sampling. Or quoting lyrics - the case ain't about that. It's also not about the defendants failing to offer payment for some alleged use bc they did. So yeah, he lost credibility imo by bringing all of that up.
