Supersonic 49,376 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 We Asked An Actual Entertainment Lawyer: Why Can’t Sony Help Kesha? As of this moment, Kesha is unable to perform features on anyone else’s records, create any live recordings (even of other people’s songs), sing the national anthem on TV or put up an acoustic cover on YouTube without Dr. Luke’s explicit permission. Because Kesha is signed to Gottwald’s publishing company, she is also unable to make a living writing songs for other people (something she’s done in the past — “Til The World Ends,” among others). If Kesha and I wrote a song together right now, I would own 50% of that song and the other half would belong to Dr. Luke. No matter what she does with her career at this point, everything she does will directly benefit her abuser, regardless of whether she’s in the same room with him or not. The systematic sexual harassment and abuse of women in the music industry is nothing new, but Kesha’s situation is a very particular nightmare.

Dramatica 13,311 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 GUYS! It's not like NOW Dr. Luke is forcing Ke$ha not to perform without his explicit permission. It has always been that way. And she probably knew that when she signed the contract. I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBEY 57,109 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 But i thought "Kesha doesnt need Taylor's money" and that "she's rich". The poor girl has been receiving nothing from her music since 3 years as i was thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The court could say that the contract is invalid (unlikely), or Luke terminates the contract by himself, or someone pushes him (like a court order) to tell Luke to kill of the contract. It all depends on him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like NOW Dr. Luke is forcing Ke$ha not to perform without his explicit permission. It has always been that way. And she probably knew that when she signed the contract. She literally signed the contract when she was underage, ate age 17. Now she is 28. I sure as hell wouldn't have had the mental capacity to understand any of the consquences of signing such a binding contract at that age, especially when you are so blinded and delusional because of the passion for your craft. How dare you blame her for the outcome of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
