lego 44,165 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 In Kesha’s testimony, she says the producer told her that “if I ever tried to get away from him for any reason, he would tie me up in litigation until my career was over.” There’s more to it than that. There are many, many more details than that, and many more examples – both explicit and insidious - of the alleged abuse. But that’s probably enough for anyone to understand why Kesha begged Sony – who own Dr. Luke’s label, Kemosabe Records – to allow her to record under any one of their other labels. Any label not associated with the man who she says raped her. “I know I cannot work with Dr. Luke,” she said. “I physically cannot. I don't feel safe in any way.” Sony refused. So too, as of Friday, did a New York Supreme Court. And so Kesha – according to a judge ruling – should go back to the studio, and make four more albums under Dr. Luke’s label. What on earth, then, are Sony expecting these albums to sound like? Do they truly believe creativity can be forced out of an artist whom they have effectively held hostage? Is the upholding of ironclad contracts more important to them than the emotional wellbeing of their artist? “My instinct,” said the judge at Kesha’s hearing, “is to do the commercially reasonable thing.” It seems Sony’s instinct is the same. To them, Kesha is a human jukebox, one whose suffering is just an inconvenience to their business. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzcutSeason 3,307 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 She honestly is the only one seeing that aspect. Love and support is good but has anyone ever thought what Kesha's doing or thinking right now? Twitter is mainly building her defense but she's being toyed around with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually apparently she can switch to work with others under sony with Luke not being involved in any way it's just that sony supposedly wouldn't promote it and so she's forced to work with a label that is somewhat on Luke's side and also doomed to flop with her new material Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwontell 7,312 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Well, she's putting her ass in the line by doing so... It's good that she's putting her money where her mouth is (I mean, she doesn't raise the feminist flag as high as other people, but still...), but it's also worrying that's she's doing that when she's close to putting a new album out...

lego 44,165 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 This is the same company who, just a few months ago, entered into alabel joint venture with Cee Lo Green – a man who defended himself against accusations of rape by saying that it isn’t rape if the victim is unconscious.

It allready happened: In July 2013, The Flaming Lips announced that they hoped to release a full-length collaborative album with Kesha, called Lipsha, although it was eventually cancelled in the winter of the same year. Kesha sent a message to a fan expressing how it was out of her control and that she wanted to release the material, even for free, saying that she didn't care about the money.

lego 44,165 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 One of the big questions in all this, of course, is how other artists have managed to wriggle free from their contracts with relative ease. How did, say, Zayn Malik manage to release himself from his One Direction contract because he wanted “to be able to relax,” while Kesha remains tangled up with her alleged abuser? Some have been quick to point out that, technically, Malik is still under Sony – he’s just transferred to another of their labels. But isn’t that exactly what Kesha’s trying to do? Let’s revisit the opening sentence of her injuction: “Kesha Rose Sebert wants nothing more than to be able to record an album. Her only condition is that she be allowed to record with a record label that is not affiliated with someone who has emotionally and sexually abused her.” FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
