This is no joke!
Funnyman Weird Al Yankovic has sued Sony Music Entertainment for $5 million!!
Weird Al’s suit alleges that Sony performed multiple mishaps including: taking improper recoupments resulting in royalty underpayments, violating a licensing agreement they shared with Weird Al, and not sharing the multi-millions received from lawsuit settlements dealing with sites like Napster, Kazaa and Grokster.
Yankovic’s representation will be Richard Busch, a partner at a Nashville-based firm who has successfully sued Universal Music, and represented famed musicians Peter Frampton and Kenny Rogers.
Hmm.
We hope you get what├óΓé¼Γäós yours, Weird Al…we are all for supporting artist rights, NOT big music corporation rights!!
