Streisand began his legal career litigating entertainment cases. On behalf of his clients, Beastie Boys and Capitol Records, Streisand won the first digital sampling case in the U.S. Courts of Appeals, Newton v. Diamond, et al.[30][31] Streisand won a palimony case for comedian Bill Maher brought by former girlfriend, Coco Johnson.[32][33] Streisand achieved a significant settlement against Faye Dunaway, Terrence McNally and others over the film rights to the stage play Master Class for producer Lester Persky.[34] Streisand successfully defended Diana Ross in a copyright infringement action by photographer Art Shay.
