Madonna’s “Hard Candy” Receives Terrible Reviews
Madonna’s infringing CD “Hard Candy” has been the recipient of terrible reviews. The album really is quite poor and has seen the phony pop star butchering other people’s copyrighted works.
Many critics are now accusing her of ripping off others music and following trends well after they happened, when she falsely claims to be an innovator. No, she is the imitator and always has been.
In going over some of the songs on her “Hard Candy” CD I also heard other people’s lyrics on her album, not just mine. For example:
In one song she rips off R. Kelly stealing his lyric “Silence can seem so loud” from his big hit “I Believe I Can Fly.”
In another song she ripped off Ciara’s 2007’s smash “Promise” for her 2008 “Spanish Lesson” that appears on Hard Candy by lifting the following lyrics:
Ciara 2007: You can be my teacher I’ll do homework. You can give me extra credit baby I’ll do more work.
Madonna 2008: If you do your homework. Maybe I will give you more work.
Then there’s the 50 Cent rip off where she steals his song “Candy Shop” calling her own version “Candy Shop as well, whilst ripping off his lyrics.
She continually steals other people’s music, regurgitates substandard versions of it, claiming it as her own. She really knows how to mess up a song.
This type of conduct is unacceptable. Artists are supposed to bring something new to the table. Not rip off preexisting pieces of music and imagery, repackaging them as your own.
That’s the ultimate fraud. You don’t get worse as an artist than that. It tells the world you are a fake and not the real deal. No one respects that.
It’s funny, one reviewer points out she “ripped off” her own music via the infringing song “She’s Not Me” from “Hard Candy” that knocks off her previous infringing song “Sorry” from Confessions On A Dance Floor.
However, these are both tracks I had formally accused Madonna of infringing from my Copyrighted Catalog. That’s my writing style and the songs had been in the Copyright Office registered to me, years before she criminally stole them in violation of U.S. and U.N. law.
Tainted ‘Candy’
When trendsetting turns into trend-chasing, it’s time to hang it up.
Most surprising, some of Candy’s catchier moments are barely disguised thefts from other, better songs. She’s Not Me shamelessly apes Sorry from her own Dancefloor; Spanish Lesson steals so baldly from Timberlake’s Senorita and Like I Love You that it’s a wonder Madonna didn’t just sample those songs instead.
But perhaps Confessions was her swan song, a last best guess that left her sifting through sounds, searching in vain for that next groundbreaking, guaranteed hit.
Madonna’s ‘Hard Candy’ definitely not better with age
Madonna is known as one of those artists who jumps on the latest trends in music, only to leave it lying in the dust when she goes back into the studio to work on her next album. On “Hard Candy” the only thing that is offered up is lots of dancing, relationships and sex.
CD Review: Madonna “Hard Candy”
But with “Hard Candy,” Madonna plays catch-up with mainstream pop charts. She essentially has remade Nelly Furtado’s “Loose” and half of Justin Timberlake’s “FutureSex/LoveSounds,” following fashion trends that are 2 years old. Is this where Madonna wants to be?
Never mind the off-putting come-ons such as “My sugar is raw, sticky and sweet” from the opener, “Candy Shop,” or the nausea-inducing cover art redolent of down-market porn: Those are the least of Madonna’s problems. She banks everything on the catchy but vacant single, “4 Minutes,” in which Timbaland recycles the marching band trope that drove Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl.” With Timbaland and Timberlake in the foreground, Madge certainly doesn’t own the song; she is a bit player on her own track.
On “Hard Candy,” when she slags Madonnalikes such as Britney Spears and Furtado (“She’s Not Me”), the argument falls flat because these days, Madonna’s trying to be them.
CD reviews: Madonna’s ‘Hard Candy’ is more bland than sweet
Simply, one cannot imagine a major artist — and no matter how one feels about Madame Ciccone, she’s a star of the highest magnitude — releasing such tepid material.
“Hard Candy” feels and sounds like a desperate attempt to remain relevant, with Madonna enlisting the likes of Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams and Kanye West for support.
That’s sort of like enlisting Picasso and Van Gogh to paint a house.
What’s most apparent is that Madonna, at 49, has become what she must fear most: Irrelevant, boring and disposable.
— Regis Behe
Madonna’s hard sell for new album
Hard Candy is expected to make No.1 in the US and Australia in its first week and has been reviewed favourably in a number of overseas publications, but already there has been considerable negative press in her own country, most of it suggesting that the raunch, not to mention the music, is beginning to look a little tired.
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au
It’s baffling that Madonna, of all people, couldn’t bring the best out of Timbaland and Pharrell, and the fact that she couldn’t highlights the degree to which she was in over her head. It’s sadder than the balding guy who buys a sports car; it’s like a balding guy who goes to buy a sports car and drives off with a lemon because he doesn’t know anything about cars. Unless Madonna can figure out how to recalibrate her identity in a way that compliments her, she could be facing an early retirement.
More sour than sweet
Madonna sounds out of touch on Hard Candy, her 11th album
It’s no secret Madonna is unhappy with the way time is ticking ever onward. But the cover of her new CD, Hard Candy, tells the story in a way that words cannot. There’s Madge, almost 50, in faux-bondage gear, trying to make like it’s 1992.
Make her think she’s invulnerable to the aging process, that she can keep up with the kids? She certainly tries, here. But that’s the problem — you can hear her trying…
For Madonna to get on the bandwagon at this late stage feels like a calculated (and belated) attempt to get some street cred…
The problem is Madonna. She sounds out of touch, like she’s not sure what to do with herself. Her trademark frigid coo doesn’t fit with these bump ‘n’ grind rhythms, and her usually harmless pop hooks repeatedly fall flat.
Hard Candy quickly loses its flavor
Madonna seems to have made the unfortunate mistake of letting other pop stars serve as her bellwether — instead of Britney looking to Madge for inspiration, Madge seems to have taken a page out of Britney’s latest book, taking half-a**ed sleaze over the seductive sounds that made her an icon in the ‘80s.
Still, you have to give her and her pop juggernaut friends credit — recycling pop music trends has to help curb the effects of global warming, right?

Wretched Madonna Cuts Off Dad From Baby
April 29. 2008
BOYCOTT MADONNA’S “HARD CANDY“
The vile, vicious animal that is Madonna has cut off her adopted toddler she bought for publicity, from his dad, angering the biological father. Sadly, he sold his baby to Satan incarnate. Therefore, he shouldn’t be surprised.
You need to pray for the boy’s safety, that the lunatic Madonna doesn’t hurt him, as she was sued for choking a 10-year-old boy named Keith Sorrentino, and bought off the case to stem the bad publicity that erupted in the New York Post.
She’s choked others as well, illustrating she is psychopathic and has a terrible evil streak. The woman is the most unholy thing walking the planet.
She should be very careful of how she treats that child, as he will remember it and talk about it later, Mommy Dearest.
Father of Madonna’s adoptee lashes out
LILONGWE, Malawi, April 27 (UPI) — Pop singer Madonna has been cutting off contact between the Malawian boy she adopted years ago and his biological father, the Malawi native says.
Yohane Banda says the “Material Girl” has severed all contact between him and his son, causing him to regret ever placing his son up for adoption, The (Britain) Sunday Times reported.
“I feel robbed. I should be able to see my son and say hello,” the 33-year-old father said. “I don’t know how he is growing, what person he is turning into. This pains me because it looks like he is not my son any more.”

Katie Price: I Don’t Write My Books
Nutty Madonna’s Nutty Friend That Stole Copyrights From My Catalog And Named Her Kid After My Dad, Disowns Her Rip Off Books
Note: Madonna’s commissioned hacker has been trying to alter then delete this article when my computer caught him breaking into the system again, trying to prevent it from going online. If the site gives you difficulty, it is due to the illegal hacking.
Katie Price A/K/A Jordan making a fool of herself at her book signing (how many authors do you know do things like that at a book signing?)
Last week, nude model and Madonna Kabbalah pal, Katie Price, also known as Jordan, made an announcement that baffled many online, as they were taken aback at the dishonesty of what she said.
Price, a not so bright model known in Britain for stripping, nude photos, getting drunk and high profile relationships with soccer players, disowned her books last week, that she previously claimed she authored herself.
She is also known for being careless and negligent with her helpless, legally blind 5 year old son, Harvey, leading to two separate, bloodcurdling incidents last year.
The first injury happened when she left him unattended, he got into a bathtub and accidentally turned on scalding hot water on himself. Based on published accounts, the skin and flesh on the poor child’s legs were hanging off, and he had to be rushed to the hospital.
The second incident occurred when a huge mirror fell on him and broke his nose, requiring another trip to the hospital. Britain’s child services have since been out to her property for an inquiry.
When she’s not leaving him in situations where he gets seriously injured, she’s teaching him how to swear, with him telling his step-dad, singer Peter Andre, things like “fu*k off” on camera.
When she’s not doing that, she’s masturbating in public with sex toys, fully aware the paparazzi are around, flashbulbs going off, with the photos ending up on mainstream blogs shortly after. This is Katie Price in a nutshell, with the operative word being nut.
Yet, all of a sudden she claimed she was a writer of novels and children’s books that just happen to be dead rip offs of PREEXISTING copyrighted book manuscripts, apart of my Copyrighted Catalog, containing containing 10,000 songs, 300 movie scripts and short stories, 15 book manuscripts, 200 music video treatments, 500 photographs, 150 photo treatments, a perfume line and clothing line.
My catalog has a lot of work in it and it should, as it took me roughly two decades to complete it, and these animals with Madonna leading the charge, criminally raided it like common lowlife trash raised in caves by wolves.
Katie Price’s recent comments in disowning her books, affirmed what I alleged last year in that she’d ripped off my copyrights. Therefore, I was not surprised at her confession.
Newsflash: simpletons don’t write books. They don’t even try to read them. Her speech and conduct show her to be unintelligent and devoid of morals.
Last September 2007 in my United Nations Human Rights abuse complaint that has been proving itself to be 100% true here, here, here and here, I accused Katie Price of criminal copyright infringement in stealing from my preexisting copyrighted books.
Not only is she a pal of habitual copyright thief Madonna, who is the criminal that illegally procured a copy of my copyrighted catalog, unlawfully used items from it without permission and began passing it around for payment and favors, in the old, nasty Hollywood tradition of thievery, Katie Price is signed as a singer to Sony/BMG, who landed on this web site before all the thefts that came out through their company occurred.
ONE OF SONY/BMG’S VISITS TO THIS SITE WELL BEFORE THE THEFTS OF COPYRIGHT BEGAN:
One of the preexisting copyrighted books you ripped off from my catalog goes with a film, and both items far exceed your net worth in value, many times over. So, you’ve got a massive problem on your hands, as I have no intention of settling with you, Ms. Price, and every intention of pressing forward with criminal charges. You also devalued said book, with cheesy, pathetic, tawdry flourishes that desecrated it.
You dealt in stolen goods, committed fraud and criminal copyright infringement. Claiming ignorance as to where the copyrights you illegally used came from won’t save your silicone butt. You are in a lot of legal trouble.
Widely read OK! magazine issue, featuring Katie Price on the front, where she named her child the same uncommon name as my dad
First Katie Price said she was going to name her new baby “Crystal,” which is the name of one of the lead characters in the book she stole from my copyrighted catalog. Then she changed her mind and named the baby after my dad.
The mere fact that it was reported in the press that you had named your new baby “Bunny” which has been my dad’s stage name for the past 40 years (www.bunnygoodison.com) and his nickname since childhood (his real name is Vaughn) says you knew what was going on with the criminal copyright infringement and willfully took part in it for unearned financial enrichment and undeserved accolades (like the award you won for the book you criminally stole from my copyrighted catalog).
What’s also telling is when my father and I started joking about your choice of name for the child and it got around, with him stating, “She will soon learn that’s not a nice name to give a child” you changed the baby’s name to Princess a few weeks after announcing to the world the child’s name was “Bunny.” But it was already in the press for weeks via your declaration, that you’d named the baby “Bunny” which under the circumstances with the copyright thefts, is quite twisted and weird.
ARTICLES:
Jordan and Peter Andre Have Bunny Issues!
They named their baby girl, at last……Jordan has started a writing career and given birth to a baby girl, whom she was supposed to name Crystal after one of her books.. .
That was a poor choice of name, to say the least, but it’s quite common, so it did not stir up media attention. Probably Jordan was disappointed in that, so the couple decided to rename the baby to a more…alternative name, such as Bunny. This is no rumor folks! The story appeared on OK! magazine’s front cover, along with some other info on Katie, such as dramatic weight loss and post-natal depression. Hmm…about that weight-loss I remember her saying to Sky news something along the lines of “skinny girls like Nicole Richie and Teri Hatcher look too thin and gaunt. It’s just not nice”. What ever happened to that idea? http://news.softpedia.com
“Peter Andre and Jordan call daughter Bunny”
Beautiful? Crystal? Nope….
Peter Andre and Jordan have reportedly decided to name their new baby ‘Bunny’.
Before the birth, the couple said their little girl would be called Crystal, but they seem to have changed their minds.
The glamour model, 29, and her singer husband, 34, picked the name a few weeks after the birth of their second child, according to Hollywood gossip Perez Hilton.
Jordan – real name Katie Price – became a mum for the third time on 29 June. Her eldest boy Harvey, fathered by footballer Dwight Yorke is 5 and second son Junior is 2. http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk
Not to mention, your publisher has come up in my web site stats as well, BEFORE the thefts of copyright occurred. Why were they on the site of an indie singer/writer? Could it be because you all are in criminal possession of a copy of my copyrighted catalog, passed to you by Madonna, that you went on to illegally use.
So to recap, you stole preexisting copyrights from me, then sickly named your child after my father and your record label and book publisher came up as visitors to this web site before the thefts of copyrights occurred, when they shouldn’t have even known who I am.
That crazy conduct has Kabbalah written all over it. That Kabbalah cult’s beliefs run from members such as Lindsay Lohan stealing a model’s clothes, as the cult believes such conduct will enable you to soak up the person’s aura, hence Britney Spears constantly switching clothes with people she meets in clubs, to sending out a mandate to members to “steal copyrights” from religious authors, according to Radar Magazine.
Jordan has admitted she does not write her own books.
The glamour girl – real name Katie Price – has published autobiographies, adult fiction and children stories under her name, but has confessed she doesn’t actually put pen to paper.
Jordan said: “I don’t actually write them, I say how I want the story.” – http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk

As Warner Music Sinks Executives Take Millions
Edgar Bronfman jr.
Today, Warner Music Group’s stock closed at $4.95. Roughly a year ago, before the boycott of their company/stock I requested on the site, due to the criminal copyright infringement and human rights abuses that occurred in this case, their stock value was $27 per share.
You would think with plummeting revenues and free falling stock, they’d tighten their belts. Of course not – this is Warner Bros. – the den of thieves.
Warner Music’s Main Offender Mad-onna
Warner Music CEO, Edgar Bronfman jr, and his VP Lyor Cohen, have rewarded their failures with salary increases. Instead of showing some humility in the face of the things they’ve done and attempting to correct said unlawful and unethical behavior, they’ve decided on lining their pockets with money from the sinking ship and stealing some more copyrights for Madonna’s forthcoming CD “Hard Candy” which I am asking you to boycott.
Here’s to your indictments, and mark my words, you will be indicted.
Special message to Warner Music Group (WMG) holders: time to complain.
Richard Greenfield, an analyst at Pali Research, notes that Warner today unveiled a huge new pay package for Chairman and CEO Lyor Cohen; this for a company which has seen its shares drop 70% over the last year.
Old contract: $1.5 million base salary, $2.5 million target bonus, with a maximum of $4 million and no minimum specified, with $4 million payable if terminated.
New contract: $3.0 million base, $2.5 million target bonus, with a maximum of $5 million and minimum of $1.5 million, with $8.5 million payable if terminated.
Nice raise! Imagine if the stock had been flat, and the company hadn’t lost several billion in market cap.
Greenfield wants to know, “Where is the corporate governance?” He suggests investors complain to the company’s board. http://blogs.barrons.com

NATIONAL NEWS FBI To Investigate Mortgage Crisis
This month it was announced the FBI has begun an investigation into the U.S. mortgage crisis that has severely damaged the American economy. Ah, 2 years too late.
The FBI came across a tip in early 2006 warning that there was something wrong in the U.S. housing market. But being the “after the fact” agency Time magazine and others referred to them as, Mueller sat on his butt, ignored the tip, while flying around on a luxury $40,000,000 jet that costs 3 million to refuel each trip, that Congress sanctioned for FBI agent anti-terrorism missions, which he was misusing to make appearances to tell everyone, “Hey, there are dangerous terrorists out there. Be vigilant and have a nice day.” It would be cheaper to post an internet bulletin.
But Mueller wasn’t about to do anything about what would evolve into the worst banking crisis in U.S. history. He meets with the president weekly and some of Bush’s rich friends run said banks that caused the catastrophe, via gouging and swindling Americans.
Washington Mutual and Countrywide pioneered it and are the biggest offenders of all. Their respective CEOs should be locked up and stripped of all their assets for what they perpetrated against the public.
But back to the “after the fact” agency argument many have posed regarding the FBI. It’s true. It doesn’t appear the FBI is into crime prevention. They wait until things are so far gone and destroyed, then they say, “Hey, let’s investigate.”
People have been robbed, harassed, assaulted and murdered while the FBI knowingly sat back and let it happen. They have framed people for crimes they didn’t commit just to have a body in the jail they could pin a crime on – in cases that were later uncovered and the agency severely sued for.
During the tragic church shooting that occurred this year, it was later reported the FBI received a tip 3 HOURS before it happened and no one bothered to get up off their butt and check it out. The caller even furnished them with the name and address of the church and the would be shooter. Well, 3 HOURS LATER several innocent people were murdered. People whose taxes were paying their salaries at the FBI.
Then there was that other time the FBI sat back and ignored an important tip, but one that was from one of their agents. It had to do with the September 11th tragedy.
The FBI had credible evidence that could have prevented the loss of 3,000 innocent lives, but headquarters in Washington, with Mueller at the helm, stonewalled the FBI agent, Harry Sammit, that wanted to investigate one of the would be hijackers that knew of the plan, but got dropped at the last minute.
But that wasn’t enough damage with 9-11. It was reported another FBI agent took a crystal Tiffany chandelier from Ground Zero, among other items, prompting another FBI agent to denounce him. Grave robbing!
While there have been FBI whistleblowers, clearly not enough. Some agents forget their oath is to the country and the American public, not Robert Mueller. They have a constitutionally sworn duty to go to Congress and report serious misconduct, not help Mueller cover it up and end up in prison later for it.
Congress needs to do something about the FBI before they cause a national catastrophe the country can’t recover from, through their famed criminal negligence.
When Partnerships Go Wrong
February 14. 2008
L.A. Antonio Reid
In the 80’s and early 90’s production partners L.A. and Babyface, Antonio Reid and Kenneth Edmonds, became successful with a string of hits for artists such as Bobby Brown, Pebbles, Paula Abdul and TLC.
In the mid-nineties their partnership fell to pieces when Babyface decided to go solo. According to the former B.E.T. show “Video Soul” it was L.A. Reid’s fault.
Babyface
Host Donnie Simpson tried to pry it out of Babyface during an interview. Simpson cited a quote where Babyface had previously said he wish he’d paid as much attention to the business side as L.A. had, leading people to believe his then production partner had robbed him.
Charismatic host Donnie Simpson of the former hit show “Video Soul”
He paid attention to writing music, while L.A. paid attention to the money and something happened in that realm between the two that led to the dissolution of the partnership.
Donnie Simpson and his wife
He further said in an interview that he was the real songwriter behind the duo, which is true, as L.A. was in fact a drummer, who used the partnership as a stepping-stone to form a label. L.A. Reid even admitted in an interview that Babyface was the real songwriting talent in the duo.
Babyface, his ex-wife Tracey Edmonds, and their kids
Time proved that as well, as after the break up Babyface continued to write songs, while L.A. Reid focused on becoming a record executive.
Babyface and girlfriend
Clive Davis, who founded Arista records in the 70’s, gave L.A. and Babyface their own record label in the late 80’s. They moved to Atlanta and started Laface Records, which became quite successful with the help and money of its parent company Arista.
Clive Davis
Several years later many in the industry were mad at L.A. Reid for taking Clive Davis’ job at Arista Records, when he was forced out due to age.
Clive Davis and Whitney Houston
Then again, any man that could make his own wife, Pebbles, the fall guy for the poor royalties one of his former top groups received, is capable of that.
L.A. and Babyface accepting an award, where one did much more work than the other.
Reid promptly ran Arista into the ground, racking up $120,000,000 in losses. He then left the company or was fired, depending on which one you believe.
Jay-Z and L.A. Reid
Davis later regained Arista and Reid sought employment elsewhere, landing at Def Jam/Island/Universal where he has worked with Jay-Z, who ran Def Jam into the ground. Jay-Z has been sued several times for copyright infringement and defrauding people out of their money.
Apparently, old habits die hard for L.A. over at Def Jam/Island/Universal, as he and his team (Jay-Z, The Dream, Ne-yo And Polo Da Don) are still engaging in taking advantage of songwriters. The Bible says a man, “Reaps what he sows.” L.A. and co. would do well to remember that. I guess you want a repeat of that devastating Arista debacle.

Madonna Scares The Public With Her New Face
January 28. 2008
Dumbledore Dumblewhore:
Recently, Madonna scared photographers when she went outside with surgical scars, looking like the Mummy before it regenerated.
Yet she continues to deny having undergone plastic surgery. She is a 50 year old acting like she is 21, which is a disgrace. She even paid got a writer to print that she has the “face of a 30 year old.” I presume you mean 30 in dog years.
Surgical Scars Prominently On Display
She will never pass for 30. She can barely pass as human with all the work she’s had done creating that unnatural Joker effect on her face that I wrote about last month. What’s happening to Madonna is a process commonly referred to as aging.
Then she gets all desperate and starts stealing everybody’s music like no one has ever been on the internet and seen where she’s stolen it from. She and her label got caught in this web site’s statistics report before and after she started stealing from me.
Public reaction to her in this regard has been terrible. My site has reached millions of people. Audiences hate when artists steal, because it spells fraud. Another example of this is she keeps blatantly stealing from Goldfrapp, among others, with their fans mockingly naming her “Oldfrapp.”

Scientology Stinks
January 28. 2008
warning: very graphic video
A video has been posted showing Scientology’s very disturbing conduct that constitutes crimes. The seven minute video is very shocking and graphic, but people need to know how sick and destructive Scientology is and why they need to avoid it.
I want you to think about the above posted video the next time Tom Cruise, John Travolta or any other sick Scientologist gets on TV telling you any garbage about what they stand for.
Scientology’s Fort Harrison Hotel in Florida – the scene of many a Scientology death (people boiled to death in bathtubs, drowned to death, neglected and abused because as L. Ron Hubbard said “I’d rather have you dead than incapable.”)
Tom Cruise and his fellow Scientologists deserve every bit of the public scorn they’ve been receiving for promoting that insidious cult. Look how many people are dead because of that cult (dozens). Those people died horrible deaths. There is no excuse for this.
Scientology is sick and it needs to be outlawed. Stop supporting stars who support that sick cult.

Warner Music Stock Slides Like It’s At Six Flags
…Warner Music Stock Drops From $18 to Just Under $5 Per Share
January 8. 2008
This is a follow up to my February 2007 Sound Off Column item a year ago where I wrote Warner Bros’ stock price would drop to $5 per share. Well, it’s happened, they’ve dropped from $18 per share where they stood a year ago, to this unprecedented low, trading at just under $5 per share, also known as cinco dineros. Thank you for boycotting them. Please keep it going.
On Monday January 7, 2007, Warner Music’s Stock Closed at $4.94 Per Share
Item I wrote a year ago in the February 2007 Sound Off Column during the time the boycott I requested had been going for over 6 months:
“Warner Music, home to Madonna, experienced a 74% drop in sales and a $5 stock price drop to $18.00+ dollars a share. Don’t worry. Give them time. The stock will actually drop to $5 per share.” – February 2007 Sound Off Column
NOTE: Please remember to boycott Madonna’s soon to be released CD on Warner Music, as it has more infringements on it stolen from my Copyrighted Catalog, based on preliminary music excerpts and full lyrics sheets that were leaked. Let’s put her out of business for all the cruel, vile acts she committed in this case and so many others. Thank you.
Edgar Bronfman jr.
Regarding her label Warner Music and its CEO, Edgar Bronfman jr, it’s amazing, all they had to do was not steal my copyrighted work and none of this would have happened.
To date since the boycott began, they’ve lost approximately $4 billion dollars and counting via their stock going from $27 per share to $5 per share in roughly a year and a half. No other label can claim that horrible record, pardon the pun.
Look how many songwriters and video directors there are in the industry, that they could have paid to author copyrighted works for them, but they opted to play the role of the bully and thief, and rob, harass, threaten and abuse me, who didn’t do anything to them at any point and wasn’t bothering anyone. You deserve what happened, as it was unmitigated arrogance.
SITE STAT FOR ONE OF MANY WARNER MUSIC VISITS TO THIS SITE:
Not to mention, you greatly helped to set the ugly tone for the horrible human rights abuse case this has become. You gave that witch the arrogance to think she could criminally spread years old preexisting copyrights of mine all over the place like a common, thieving hoodlum, because you bankrolled it…and you keep bankrolling it, even after getting sued, setting this disgraceful precedent.

Mafia Judge To The Feds: “You Talkin’ To Me”
Judge Working For The Mafia Arrested And Sentenced To 3 Years
November 19. 2007
Judge David Gross did something really gross – he was laundering $400,000 in bribes, cash and stolen jewelry while working with the Genovese mafia in New York. He even bragged he could hide items in his car because he has “judge (license) plates.” This guy is pure class.
Well well well, the FBI’s Squad C-5 again. On a personal note, it’s good to know that a federal judge would work with the mafia. That sure explains a lot.
Former Nassau judge sentenced for money laundering
November 16, 2007 – Former Nassau County Court Judge David Gross shamed more than just himself and his family when he was caught up in a mob money laundering scheme — he disgraced the profession of anyone who has ever worn a jurist’s robe, a federal court judge told Gross as he sentenced him to 33 months in prison.
“The position of a judge in our society is a prized achievement and brings with it the responsibility of total integrity, honesty and good character,” U.S. District Court Judge Arthur Spatt told Gross in Central Islip Friday. “There is no position in this country more important for integrity.”
Gross, 45, pleaded guilty in July to money laundering conspiracy for working with members of the Genovese crime family in an attempt to launder nearly $400,000 that included cash, stolen diamonds, watches and jewelry. Federal prosecutors say they never targeted Gross, but they arrested him after he “walked into” an FBI organized-crime sting.
As part of the plea deal, Gross will begin his sentence in January. Speaking before sentencing, the former judge, who had a reputation for being quirky and once wrote a book titled “If The Robe Fits: A View From The Bench,” said he stood “before this court a broken man.”…
Federal prosecutors recommended a sentence of up to 41 months for Gross, who Assistant U.S. District Attorney Cynthia Monaco said deserved no leniency and should be held to a higher standard. She noted that in one scheme, Gross kept $40,000 in laundered cash in his car trunk and told his accomplices it was safe there because he had “judge plates.”
“His commission of these crimes is a betrayal of the trust that the public placed in him,” Monaco said. – http://www.newsday.com
