BT Lawsuit

taken from http://blog.myspace.com/mrbt

but personally, a train wreck, four huge legal wars, that alone have not only eaten my savings, but have put me so far in debt it may take me years to recover�.that is if I escape bankruptcy. One lawsuit is ongoing. There is a guy in New York, that claims ONE loop on my sample CD (a one bar loop) is his. A composer used it in a Pfizer commercial and he heard it, say�s it�s his (I made the loop in Reason in about 5 minutes, and furthermore after paying a musicologist 10,000$, found out that it�s the first beat in the book �Intro to drumming�, literally the first beat they teach you when you learn to play drums). Well how�s this for the American legal system�..

He is suing me for 10 MILLION DOLLARS.

Not joking. He�s also suing East/West the company that distributed my CD for 10 million dollars and Pfizer etc. We have done FFT analysis of the loop, showed the judge waveforms, etc�..does not matter, in America, you can sue anyone for anything. Here�s the kicker�..I have to pay for my own defense, and this guy has some ambulance chaser attorney working on a percentage with nothing better to do than try to force a settlement with a huge corporation, and some guy that just loves making music and sounds, so he can sit on his ass and smoke weed all day. I swear sometimes I want to renounce my citizenship.















I hope he wins this retarded suit! BT is too much of a pioneer to go down over some retard's desire for money

yay for the american legal system! greatest country in the world..

The people of America have too much freedom

i hope soo too. this is one of those reason i dont venture into the production era cuz im afraid i ll just end up being sued for something stupid

I've noted to my friends that this would be akin to some ****** in the 17th century who fooled around on a parlour piano suing Bach for using a C major chord.

Am I right or am I right?

bleh, BT's a nice guy, I hate to see this happen to someone like him. That guy suing is definitely a prick... $10 million dollars over a 1 bar loop... jesus christ thats the most ridiculous thing ive heard. I wonder what song it was? Err maybe it wasn't even a real song since he says it was on a sample cd

Let's just say I choose to identify with my matrilineal heritage as opposed to the heritage of the country of my birth...

You are right, but unlike the 17th century, BT cant resolve this issue with pistols at dawn.

lol, why cant this happen to Scooter and put an end to their filthy plaigerism? BT actually writes good music with the shit he steals.

only in america

Ugh...don't remind me.

and the american stereotypes continue...

Let's face it, this guy is just a greedy wank-spank trying to catch a free buck. He's an anomaly in an otherwise semi-sane america.

^ You hear about that shit all the time. People suing people over everything. Fat people suing McDonalds for being fat, people suing some chips company because they swallowed the toy that's inside, people suing Starbucks because their fucking coffee is hot. All this bullshit even lead to the most stupid warning labels on everything. Warning: may be hot. IT'S FUCKING COFFEE YOU FUCKTARD, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HOT.

And now this. More bullshit from the country where everyone and their grandmother sues everyone and their grandmother for the most stupid things.

Just remember

"Freedom isn't free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill
Freedom isn't free
No, there's a hefty fuckin' fee.
And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
Who will?"

yes and they brought it on themselves. now trying to bring it to the rest of the world.

That's ridiculous but i'm not surprised to see things like this happening in America. I hope BT wins and kicks the guy to Mars.

Why can't BT just sue him back for $10 million for mental inconvenience?

So, this guy believes that BT stole a one-bar loop of his and that justifies seeking $20 million in damages? Ridiculous. It saddens me that this case has even be allowed to proceed, especially when Brian Transeau is losing money already just for the pleasure of being sued. You Americans sure have some weird ideas of what constitutes a reasonable lawsuit.
