Keri Hilson, Mary J. Blige Sued for 2005 Hit (The Boombox)

Jul 14th 2010 12:40PM Sad-to-say, it is songwriters and factories who should be sued when new music is seized and marketed. Albums are released using social-pressure exerted toward those who inspire the music, those often also pressured to perform, contrary to the intent of 'freedom of the press' ethic but using the ethic as if it is a must-copy-and-sell law. Album-themes vary but many, many can originate from one source with varying inspirations -- hundreds, even thousands of different album-themes can preserve music from one source, the different themes inspired by varying people. There must be a way to control the oil-company and education-domain mobs that are so easily directed toward individual inspiration/performers.

McDonald's faces lawsuit threat over 'Happy Meal' toy offers (WalletPop)

Jun 25th 2010 4:10PM 'Happy Meal' toy factory production lines require time and energy that is not necessary. A special toy during holidays was the original intent.

McDonald's faces lawsuit threat over 'Happy Meal' toy offers (WalletPop)

Jun 23rd 2010 2:49PM No child needs special toys in a Happy Meal every day. Influence networks use "Will you...?" calls to study marketing behavior, then go running to lawyers when the ploy is traced.

Group Busted for Lifting George Clinton's 'Bow Wow Wow ...' Refrain (The Boombox)

Nov 13th 2009 8:56AM The music and lyrics of each album-theme originate from a source different than the performers, who can be induced to provide a rendition although some music in general is dedicated to them. The wish to have easy assembly-line employment cannot be underestimated as an impetus to put people on stage who should instead be enjoying the limelight as named dedications. It also should not be assumed that any named dedication or performer is the real owner of any music that has his/her name on it, but rather that factory-employment interests write up paperwork so as to continue the assembly-line lifestyle -- those named will affix signature ("witness my hand...") rather than cause interpersonal conflict.

Victim's Brother Says 'Surreal Watching Life Sapped Out' of DC Sniper (Sphere Lite)

Nov 11th 2009 7:58AM That the Malvos have been the subjects of a serious hazing-activity influence-network nowhere appears in the due-process equation. The influence-network participants, operating at a distance through the telephone, provoke, ridicule and demand cooperation from their 'contacts' without relief, often to initiate petty business-schemes that benefit no-one except themselves. As example, a 'private'/secret recruitment scheme intended to put little trash-compactors into all vehicles has been infuriatingly blind to the southern-state need to have in-vehicle fan installations which operate automatically to cool over-heated car/cab interiors. It is not easy to complain about the telephone M. O., whose participants use lawyer-approved phrasing but use verbal attack-tones to communicate their wishes.

Allman Brothers Battling Universal in Royalty Lawsuit (Spinner)

Sep 17th 2009 8:38PM These are not royalty fee matters but rather reflect the health/freedom concerns of performers who represent works not their own time after time after time. When the performance groups give their performance keywords as truth-in-advertising, health problems will abate or cease to some extent, but the social pressures resulting from public performances will not.

Tennis Great Jack Kramer Dies at 88 (Fanhouse Tennis)

Sep 15th 2009 7:51AM Obviously many of you have no experience whatsoever with the social pressures of oceanside peninsula life, or such casual denigration of the Williams sisters would not be possible.

Apple Threatens to Close iTunes Over Increased Royalty Rates (Switched)

Oct 5th 2008 3:05AM Royalty payments to writers and performers are counter to the copyright laws; royalty payments exist to benefit the artist/composer. The real issue lies in the fact that royalty payments are paid to people who have not created the music, but who perhaps have their names on original music because they have inspired it in some way. A significant portion of entertainment-industry 'writing' overall is ghost-writing that can be alleged to be organized crime.

Fees are paid to people who score raw all-vocal music so it can be used with instruments on-stage, but recordings can have listeners without any writing, scoring or stage performances.

Many companies seize new concepts and operate in a crisis-management mode as if the nation will be nuked if they are not busy stamping out new technology for the mass markets; in that way 'truth-in advertising' becomes a tangental thought rather than a real activity.

There is no reason to pay royalty fees to writers -- they have not created what they write out.

Surgically-Implanted Contact Lenses Could Cure Host of Eye Problems (Switched)

Sep 24th 2008 6:59PM This device concept has been inputted from an influence-network pool of responses demanded as the action of a telephone-caller network -- which means that it just as well could/should be written up as science fiction (i.e., a fiction made real). The same influence-network pool has initiated the 'Harry Potter Lexicon', as further example, and also the 'special' literary treatment of the life of Harry Potter already reamed and routed into the bookseller marketplace.
