Lawsuit Filed Against Project Playlist, Buzzing Artist, and New Music..
Posted April 29, 2008 — in Music News
Lawsuit Filed Against Project Playlist: The major music labels have filed a lawsuit against a popular music site called Project Playlist. The labels accuse Project Playlist of massive copyright infringement since it does not have a license for any of its content. Once again, this is another example of a music site that profits from artists without giving anything back.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Breaks Record: The newest installment of the controversial video game Grand Theft Auto 4 goes on sale today. The sales expectations are humongous. “The video game industry estimates “GTA 4″ will sell about 6 million copies and make about $400 million in sales worldwide in its first week alone.”
Buzzing: The Canadian band, Age Of Daze has been making some noise with their independent release titled Hollywood Ending. The track ‘Afflicted‘ has been #1 on Sirius Octane for over 8 weeks. The track is also #18 on the Canadian Rock BDS chart.
Miley Takes A Bite of the Forbidden Fruit: Miley Cyrus who is a multi million dollar brand took on a tremendous risk by engaging in a racy photo session that will appear in Vanity Affair. The fact that Miley doesn’t even need Vanity Affair makes this ordeal more shocking. This is an extremely poor business move and will somewhat tarnish her brand. These girls just can’t keep their clothes on.
New Music: Run Kid Run is a 4 piece pop rock band that comes from Illinois. The new record titled ‘Love At The Core’ will be released TODAY through Tooth and Nail Records. The record was produced by James Paul Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Further Seems Forever, New Found Glory). Listen to the song ‘Love At the Core‘.
32 Leaves who hails from Arizona just came off of tour dates w/ Theory Of a Deadman and Airbourne. Their track ‘All Is Numb‘ is starting to happen at radio.
A Lonely Woman’s Fight Against the Music Biz: The suggested reading for today is an article that can found in Business Week titled ‘Does She Look Like A Music Pirate?‘ After being accused for stealing songs, Tanya Andersen has decided to take the record industry to court for conspiracy laws.
RE: A Lonely Woman’s…
Learn to read. The case against her was dismissed

First the younger Spears sister getting pregnant and now this. Really bad business move on her part. I wonder who her management is? You see it all the time.. these child stars doing things to shed their “wholesome” image to show that they’re adults or not to be typecast but hell that could at least have waited till she was 21.
And there a lot to be said for a wholesome image in these times.

Her management is her father and mother, who were on the set the entire time and oversaw most of it.
Additionally, we shouldn’t really shame Miley Cyrus. She’s 15, she was obviously mislead.
Vanity Fair is the person involved in this that should be dismayed and shamed. Do they have no morals? Whoever let the notion of a 15-year-old’s semi-nude photo shoot take place on the cover of their magazine is disgusting. Plain and simple.
And how Annie Liebovitz, a well respected photographer could participate in such a thing is really unnerving.
Just my ten cents.

Our advice is to the pay the 4 thousand bucks and move on with life”.
Did you even read the article or are you plain stupid?. The case against her was DISMISSED, she wasn’t the pirate, the IP adresses were the key to the mistake, SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO PAY THE 4K USD ANYMORE.
Read it again -and again- and then let us know your comments about the investigating methods that were used on a person declared innocent by the court. Geez!

Good idea deleting your “wise advice” -on the Tanya Andersen remark-.

The new 32 Leaves tracks are very good. Its one of those rare instances where a bands songs are better than their first albums.
When I found out they signed to Universal Records, I wouldn’t understand why (based on the first album), but I think it sounds good so far.
Kind of like 10 Years meets Deftones….kind of.

i thought taking your clothes off is what you did when your career starts tanking and you need to get rid of the the good girl image…after that an od/rehab stint. she’s totally breaking the rules of the game.
ultimately, you have to blame her parents.

At one of the recent award shows Miley sang a song and her performance was way to seductive. I don’t think most people even noticed but it was out of her zone as far as wholesomeness. I am not at all surprised at this photo disaster. Her parents must be crazy to allow her to go in this direction so early in her career. I hope this is the last time they let her do a stupid thing like this.
