yASSsss 35,510 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Sony Music has now offered a statement about the ongoing litigation through a lawyer. Speaking to The New York Times on behalf of the company, Scott Edelman said, “Sony has made it possible for Kesha to record without any connection, involvement, or interaction with Luke whatsoever, but Sony is not in a position to terminate the contractual relationship between Luke and Kesha.” Kesha’s contract is with Gottwald’s company Kasz Money, which furnishes her services to Sony; this technicality is why Sony claims it cannot terminate her contract. http://www.ew.com/article/2016/02/25/kesha-dr-luke-sony?xid=entertainment-weekly_socialflow_twitter Call me by your name and I'll call you by mine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

venusfly 17,885 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 This has always been the case, Sony have said to Kesha she can work with another producer without talking to Luke but this is still not good enough. Luke's contract with Kesha reserves him the right to produce 6 songs on the album and oversee its promotion, publication, and everything to do with future releases, as well as any live events she does. Even if she works with another producer, Luke is still very much in the picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 So, it is Dr. Luke that won't let go? Just let her go! It's like keeping a coach for a team or a player when they want to go somewhere else (which, by the way you can't do!...of course that is a male dominated industry), all it would do is create a toxic atmosphere and end up hurting the team and the program! They even let college players go to other schools. All they have to do is set out one year. Nothing good is going to come out of making Kesha stay with this label! Why is the recording industry unlike any other business? Why do they get to keep people like slaves? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkers 29,617 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 There are other ways for Sony to put pressure on Dr. Luke. They should be working to do that. I'm sure they are, corporations HATE this kind of attention.

Is like Gaga with Interscope, they have control over her albums and singles releases, Gaga has freedom with them, yeah, but not in full freedom another shot before we kiss the other side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE, has to end it Right, I see, thank you . The contract is apparently worth 60/70m I read? But how much of that is even an upfront investment and the amount she has earned in sales it mustn't be that substantial? Luke would appear to not want to work with Kesha, like I just don't see why these three parties cannot end this simply and let the poor girl just go.
