Industry Liabilities

INDUSTRY LIABILITIES
NaTasha Harris


The first article I read I chuckled a bit….Sisters Sue Reality Show for Filmed Attack. Yes you guess it Oxygen’s Bad Girls Club. Apparently twin sisters Amanda and Victoria Hepperle never had seen an episode of Bad Girls Club. These twins were “replaceable” and when they arrived to the house an orchestrated attack took place. According to the twins they believe producers of the show planned this attack for more ratings and advertising. Rather or not if I agree with that statement I am 100% against bullying and if these young ladies felt unsafe at any moment someone should pay. However, the sisters maybe embarrassed this scuffle took place before they could the lime light.

Singer Kesha recently lost her lawsuit in NY trying to be released from her current contract. Kesha made allegations of rape and abuse against her music producer Dr. Luke.  Now this case was thrown out because according to the judge if indeed these acts of rape and sexual abuse happened it wasn’t in NY’s jurisdiction. This unlawful act reportable occurred over a decade ago some may question the timing of this lawsuit and have questions that need to be answered like you didn’t remember this ungodly act against you when you first endorsed the contract?


Custom arrangement license, grand right license and mechanical licenses are just a few legal knots you must tie before you sing a popular song at your school’s choir concert. A high school choir got sued for stealing music, the real life choir that inspired the TV show Glee.  I guess it makes sense if you make money by using someone else’s music then you should pay to you it. For God’s sakes they are kids just trying to have a good time.
