There is no mention of the compensation amount to be paid to Grant.

Not even the linked order says (which I would have thought makes it a "reasons for decision" not an "order"). It says "The parties have now filed cross-motions for partial summary judgment." So I guess it isn't over yet?

Exactly a year ago, September 15, 2023, the plaintiffs and defendants filed motions for summary judgment at a Manhattan federal court. The defendants informed the court that they would rely on a fair use defense, despite Grant’s legal team asserting that discovery had “revealed unequivocally” that the use of Electric Avenue was not transformative.
