Richard Friedman sued Zimmer for copyright infringement in January 2015, but he now says he never should have brought the case.
Hans Zimmer has received more than just a win in a copyright infringement case – he also received an apology from a fellow composer who now says he mistakenly sued the Oscar-winner over the music for 12 Years a Slave.
His score for 12 Years a Slave was not nominated for an Oscar, although the film won best picture in 2014.
Friedman wrote a letter to Zimmer saying he deeply regrets filing the lawsuit.
