Kenny Rogers sues Capitol Records over royalties
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Kenny Rogers is suing Capitol Records, claiming the company has not properly paid him for digital downloads, ringtones and other uses of his songs.
Rogers in the lawsuit filed Monday in federal court in Nashville is seeking a declaration that under his contract, he is owed 50 percent of net royalties for the licensing of his master recordings to third-parties like iTunes and Verizon Wireless. Rogers' hits include "The Gambler" and "Lady."
As you may recall, all we've heard from the "industry" is how "Internet piracy" harms the artists? well in my opinion, its seems to me they care NOTHING about the artists they just want to rule the seas!
In other words: if there's stealing to be done...they'll be the ones to do it!
We CANNOT let them use "piracy" as an excuse to shut down the web!
