Chris Brown Playing For Team Gay

Should His Album Have Been Called “Graffiti” Or “Gayffiti”

Chris Brown’s new album cover would have one thinking he is playing for team gay. This is what comes of dating a bisexual woman, Rihanna. The gay starts rubbing off on you.

Stretch pants/leggings on a dude will set off radar gaydar everywhere. This is definitely rivaling, Adam Lambert, for the win, in the gay album cover stakes.

In other news, who told Sony’s Chris Brown he could rip-off the video for Jodeci’s number one hit single from 1993 entitled “Cry For You” for his new 2009 video “Crawl.”

Chris Brown's new infringing video "Crawl"

The songs “Cry For You” and “Crawl” bear some similarities in melody and theme as well, only the later sped up the BMP. Unoringal!

Chris Brown's new infringing video "Crawl"

I keep telling you guys all Chris Brown and others that subscribe to his pathetic, thieving way of thinking, such as Sony and Kabbalah, do is constantly steal, violating copyright law. They are the worst set of losers in entertainment history.

Coincidentally, Sony’s boyband, A-1, ripped off that same Jodeci video as well in 1999, six years after the original went to number one. All this theft is very arrogant and it looks crazy.

A-1 "Everytime" video infringement includes the same background, very similar costume designs and camera angles, as the preexisting Jodeci video "Cry For You"

"This Is It" Opens To Moderate Sales

Michael Jackson's documentary film "This Is It" has opened to moderate sales, thus far, in a swan song that has one wondering if this is what the singer would have wanted.

His last work that he will be remembered by, is now essentially a rehearsal video that is not even the finished product. It's hardly what an entertainer would call their best, as it is a behind the scenes view. A fly on the wall feature.

What makes it worse is Jackson looked so emaciated, skeletal and strained with his skin sporting an almost gray hue. It showcased a Jackson deep in thought, preparing for his big comeback that was cut short. It was an incomplete thought.

An unfinished, unpolished product, for a man that was a musical perfectionist, wanting to get everything just so. I do not think this is how he would want to be remembered, as a man that time, tragedy and temptation got the better of. This was not it, pardon the pun.

$20.1 million is it for 'This Is It'

October 29, 2009 | 10:54 am - Sony's unusual Wednesday launch for its Michael Jackson movie "This Is It" yielded decidedly mixed results.

The documentary sold $20.1-million worth of tickets around the world, with $7.4 million coming from the U.S. and Canada and $12.7 million from 97 foreign countries.

The United Kingdom was the biggest foreign market for "This Is It," bringing $1.9 million. France was next with $1.4 million, followed by Japan with $1.2 million, German with $1.1 million, and China with $730,000.

A small amount of the total came from night-time shows in the Western United States on Tuesday starting at 9 PM Pacific, but the vast majority is from screenings on Wednesday.

Opening movies worldwide on a Wednesday outside of summer of the holidays is extremely rare. On that basis, Sony can claim a solid launch when measured against any comparable films.

However, given the huge amounts of hype surrounding the movie and the $60 million Sony spent to make the movie, outside of its marketing costs, the opening is none too impressive...

Sony Sales Still Sinking

This greasy old gangster (Howard Stringer)

Today, vile Sony announced another massive sales decline, this time they've posted their fourth straight quarterly loss of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Everything that can go wrong with this company has and they are resorting to unsavory, inauthentic tactics to inflate and prop up their stock price that is sure to burn investors when the house of cards comes crashing down.

They've fired scores and scores of people, closed offices and factories, trimmed product lines and yet they are still hemorrhaging money. Good times.

That's what you get for being lazy losers that steal everything under the sun and see the way to financial prosperity as trying to murder off black musicians that have substantial copyrighted catalogs.

Stealing copyrights that were to benefit AIDS and Cancer patients are about as low as one can go in this life. God have mercy on your souls. This is one battle you are not going to win.

Michael Jackson Will Labeled Forged

Michael looked like he was higher than a satellite in that pic

Few could have imagined Michael Jackson would meet such a sad, untimely end, but compounding the tragedy is news from Los Angeles that his will appears to be a forgery.

The Jackson family stated it is not Michael’s signature on the will. Additionally, the will that was signed in Los Angeles, conflicts with photographic evidence showing the pop singer on the other side of the country in New York, at a protest with the Rev. Al Sharpton, slamming Sony and then C.E.O. Tommy Mottola and their conduct regarding the entertainer’s career.

Which brings me back to the point I have been making for months, when an artist, particularly a black one, owns a copyrighted catalog (music publishing ect) of any volume and value, said artist becomes a target for destruction by the Hollywood system, which is essentially a cabal, that still has its feet firmly trenched in racism and that old time slavery mentality.

Michael Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton

Well, you guys have really done it this time. The most famous entertainer in the world is dead and under very suspicious circumstances. The world is not amused. I predict nothing but bad will come of this for Hollywood.

First Sam Cooke, who was the first black man to demand and own his own music publishing, now Jackson, who had half ownership in the Sony catalog, winds up dead as well, in a situation that is so suspect.

Hollywood has nastier secrets it is hiding in the same vein, pardon the pun. However, when it goes public and it will, it’s going to be a wrap for certain executives and a few famous names as well.

It’s really sad and pathetic when apart of the corporate sector, traded on Wall Street, that is supposed to be about entertainment, is capable of murder to steal others’ assets and labor.

Then Hollywood wonders why its sales are in the toilet. No one wants to support such madness and villainy. If this madness continues it is only a matter of time before its spells Hollywood’s financial epitaph.

Jackson's Will -- Randy Says Not MJ's Signature

Posted Oct 21st 2009 1:35PM by TMZ Staff - Randy Jackson claims Michael Jackson could not have signed his 2002 will, because he was 2,475 air miles away from the place the document was supposedly inked.

According to the will, it was signed on July 7, 2002 at 5:00 PM in Los Angeles. Randy Jackson tells TMZ he has proof MJ was in New York from July 5 through July 9, on a campaign against Sony honcho Tommy Mottola, claiming Mottola had a thing against Black artists.

The lawyer for the estate, Howard Weitzman, tells TMZ the witnesses to the will were face-to-face with Jackson when he signed the document. Weitzman would not say if the will was signed in L.A., even though the document refers to Los Angeles...

UPDATE: TMZ spoke with Al Sharpton's rep, Rachel Noerdlinger, who confirms Sharpton and Jackson were protesting Mottola in NY together in 2002 on July 6th and July 9th.

As the for the key date -- July 7th -- Sharpton's rep released the following curious statement:

"We have reason to believe that Michael may have been in NY on the 7th and Rev. Sharpton will address this after he discusses it with the Jackson family."

When Ink Turns To Blood

Several journalists were induced to write antagonistic stories about Michael Jackson, particularly, former vile Fox News gossip columnist, Roger Friedman, who was fired over his unwise choices in the “Wolverine” film leak scandal.

He wrote nagging, nasty articles, regularly proclaiming in a mean manner that Jackson was about to lose his home to foreclosure and his music publishing catalog, he’d borrowed money against. He kept proclaiming Jackson’s ruination was impending and of the greatest proportions.

Friedman and others, prompted by individuals that sought to take Jackson’s assets, through an unlawful plot, did this to relentlessly goad, upset, vex and worry the pop singer, into abandoning all that he had worked for since childhood and purchased with his own earnings.

As the world now knows, the immense pressure from the court circuit and the press, caused Jackson great anxiety, which begat insomnia.

To address what clearly became a nervous disorder, Jackson turned to prescription meds in large doses, leading to his demise this past summer at the age of 49.

Hollywood has more scammers and con artists than any other industry in the nation and world. People in tinseltown routinely conspire to bring others down to criminally steal millions and sometimes billions of dollars in cash and assets.

Bribes are often paid to those willing to set people up and make false accusations that deteriorate victims’ financial position, enabling industry sharks to move in on their prey.

Frivolous litigation is often initiated directly and or indirectly through third parties, in an effort to financially weaken, distress and psychologically batter targets chosen for their valuable assets. It is as bad the mafia, but worse in some ways, with both entities not above resorting to murder to get what they want.

Chris Brown’s Fan Appreciation Tour

Chris Brown

Disgraced R&B singer Chris Brown is embarking on a fan appreciation tour, which I find hilarious. He is essentially going on the road, to promote his single and forthcoming CD, whilst charging his audience money to see him perform live.

However, he’s supposedly doing so, because he appreciates his audience and deems this a thank you to them. I think it is the other way around. Dude should have named it what it really is, “The Please Save My Career Tour.”

Rihanna

Tell the truth, your girlfriend hit you and you tried to bite her fingers like Jeffrey Dahmer and kick her like you were fighting Bruce Lee (albeit, with Woody Woodpecker's hair).

Apple Trounces Sony

Apple, the maker of products such as the iPhone, saw a 47% surge in profits, catapulting their sales to $1.67 billion dollars in the last quarter. While uncreative competitor, Sony Ericsson, lost over $245,000,000 dollars in the last quarter on its substandard phones.

Sony C.E.O. Howard Stringer, who currently has the Sony legal department trying to battle over 100 lawsuits in America, for the willful theft of copyrights and patents, due to their nasty habit of stealing from everyone, must be kicking himself.

Had he successfully done his usual, in ordering one of the guys from their tech department, responsible for the DRM scandal and other computer intrusion incidents, to break into Apple's security and steal the plans for the iPhone, releasing it as their own before Apple launched it, they could have criminally taken credit and payment for it.

Apple's profit climbs 47% in its 'most profitable quarter ever'

Its earnings of $1.67 billion far exceed analysts' expectations. The increase is fueled by brisk back-to-school sales of the company's MacBook computers and the continued popularity of its iPhone.
Apple, Steve Jobs...

Sony Ericsson Posts Fifth Consecutive Loss as Demand Falls

Oct. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications Ltd., the mobile-phone venture of Sony Corp. and Ericsson AB, reported a fifth straight quarterly loss on lower demand for its handsets and announced new financing.

The third-quarter net loss was 164 million euros ($245 million), less than analysts anticipated, compared with a loss of 25 million euros a year earlier, the company said in a statement today. The company arranged external credit totaling 455 million euros, partly guaranteed by its parent companies...

Usher Sued Twice For Being A Thief

Usher

Sony singer Usher, has been sued in two unrelated lawsuits for copyright infringement. In one of the cases, there is a claim of criminal liability. I'm not surprised.

In the case, Ernest Lee Straughter et al v. Usher Raymond et al, the singer stands accused of stealing the song "Burn" that was a massive hit for him a few years ago. Technically, it is the biggest hit of his career.

Other copyright thefts mentioned in the case are the songs "Got Me Waiting" and "How To Deal." Sony and its artists Ciara and Fantasia have also been sued in the legal action. The serial criminal copyright infringers, 19 Entertainment (Simon Cowell and Simon Fuller) have also been sued in the case.

The case has the appearance of Sony's usual misconduct of passing around illegally made copies of other people's copyrights, in criminal violation of the law.

Keep it up and the U.S. government in going to raid Sony's headquarters in New York (you know, like the Mexican government had to do for your felonious refusal to desist criminally breaking copyright law).

Side Bar: one word to Sony C.E.O. Howard Stringer - pomade. There is no excuse for that hairdo. Notice Raj Rajaratnam had his do slicked back for his perp walk. The public does not want to see you coming out of the Sony building looking like you just got electrocuted.

The FBI perp walking Raj Rajaratnam

For more on Ernest Lee Straughter et al v. Usher Raymond et al: http://www.boliven.com

Usher has also been sued for copyright infringement, in the case Rashonda D. Gooch v. Usher Raymond et al: http://dockets.justia.com/docket

I have to concur, from experience, Usher is a copyright thief, as is mentioned in this case. His label Sony is the most thieving record company in existence.

The aforementioned Usher cases are being defended by Robert Jacobs of the Mannatt law firm. The Feds should be looking very thoroughly into Sony's lawyer, Robert Jacobs, as his conduct with certain judges would fill quite a few FBI files. He is discrediting the U.S. Judiciary all over the world.

FBI Lawsuit Update Part 1

Aisha v. FBI

Robert S. Mueller

In light of what happened last time in the Aisha v. Madonna case, the great incivility I was met with and the manner in which my human rights and Constitutional rights were vilely trampled, in violation of the law, I am going to disclose all items concerning the case on this website to let you the public view and decide, with the hope it leads to greater government accountability and transparency (as Obama promised the world). The following are a list of updates thus far, since the filing of the case on August 31, 2009.

The case number for the Aisha v. FBI lawsuit is 09-22674. The clerk forgot to stamp the case number on the lawsuit the day it was filed.

The judge is Jose Martinez. The magistrate judge is Steven Brown (the same magistrate judge from the 2005 Aisha v. Madonna case).

On September 1, 2009, the day after the case was filed, the judge issued a nine page order stating he wants a "Scheduling Conference" meeting between both parties click here

In the aforementioned judicial order regarding the "Scheduling Conference" the judge also requested a "Certificate of Interest" be filed by each side. I filed my "Certificate of Interest" a few weeks ago click here

I sent a copy of the 11 page "Scheduling Conference" order, in compliance with the judge's aforementioned request, along with a cover letter, to the FBI's lawyer click here

The three defendants Robert Mueller, The FBI and DOJ were served on September 15, 2009 and as they are a government agency, they have 60 days to respond, as opposed to the standard 20 click here

I filed a motion to correct to reflect a few minor errors (spelling of a name ect.) click here

Here is the mailing receipt showing confirmation of President Obama/White House receiving my letter and an advance draft of the Aisha v. FBI lawsuit click here.

I did not wish to write to Obama about this subject, but Robert Mueller and the FBI's severe criminal negligence, left me no choice, as my life has been placed in danger. Repeated incidents of severe harassment that began increasing in frequency and becoming more hostile, clearly illustrates Madonna and co. are escalating their criminal and violent commissioned misconduct towards me, building up to something very bad.

Enough is enough. I haven't done anything to these people, don't know them and want nothing to do with them. I do not wish to end up dead like Michael Jackson and Sam Cooke, because a certain set of people are trying to steal my Copyrighted Catalog. What a disgrace those thieves are, going to such sick, evil extremes to steal from innocent people.

I recently filed a formal complaint with the DOJ Inspector General, regarding Mueller and co.'s misconduct in my case, as the Department of Justice's website, states one is to do so under said circumstances.

Infringements

Singer Cheryl Cole of Girls Aloud and Simon Cowell on his show X-Factor

Regarding the ongoing infringements, Sony still leads the pack with the most instances of criminal copyright infringement.

Recent incidents of criminal copyright infringement include "Happy" by Leona Lewis via Syco(Simon Cowell)/Sony Music.

The video for "Bad Boys" by Alexandra Burke via Syco(Simon Cowell)/Sony Music, with Bryan Barber criminally taking credit and payment for my preexisting copyright, Syco passed to him.

"Fight For This Love" by Simon Cowell's "X-Factor" co-host Cheryl Cole, with Steve Kipner, Andre Merritt and Wayne Wilkins criminally taking credit and payment for my preexisting copyright, Syco and co. passed to them.

And other new infringing items by Chris Brown (Sony) and his girlfriend Rihanna, who continue to steal from the Copyrighted Catalog.

Madonna's latest single "Celebration" is also a criminal copyright infringement of a preexisting song in my Copyrighted Catalog, of the same name, which has been copyrighted for years.

PLEASE BOYCOTT ALL THE AFOREMENTIONED ARTISTS AND SONY

Hacking

The illegal hacking into my computers by Madonna's hackers at Digilink that is also of a very malicious nature, to not only snoop on the contents of my computers, but to damage and destroy the local copy of my websites in bids at blocking them from being updated six days a week, continues unabated.

This is amazingly occurring in spite of the aforementioned FBI lawsuit and the agency's alleged pledge on their website regarding "preventing crime." Apparently the sick Hollywood stars in the case, can say whatever garbage pops out of their illiterate, thieving mouths and onto their vile websites, but the Constitution and international human rights charters do not apply to me, via the right to having free speech and freed press.

Harassment

There was also a vile, unlawful incident of harassment and terrorization geared towards my mother by a Kabbalah affiliate (Madonna's cult) as retaliation for me filing the FBI lawsuit. I am going to enter it into the case and post it to the site. When you read about what transpired, it is going to disgust and appall you. My mother nearly had a heart attack due to it and ended up in the hospital on September 30, 2009. She has since been released. She has since been released from the hospital.

As previously mentioned, on August 31, 2009, there was an incident at the Federal courthouse, via a red string bracelet wearing Kabbalah member and felon, named Alexis A. Palme, who followed me into said courthouse (his photo ID is on file, as one must show it to enter the building), after being sent to intimidate and browbeat me, on federal property (a felonious no-no), into not filing the FBI lawsuit, disclosing Madonna and Kabbalah's sick misconduct (which I filed anyway).

Whitney Houston’s Album Bombing

Whitney Houston’s new album “I Look To You” began with moderate sales of 300,000 copies sold in the first week. However, it quickly deflated in the second week, registering 83,000 copies sold. It is on track to be a flop, as stated previously.

This can be attributed to poor planning, bad song selection, sub-par production and thievery on the part of Sony C.E.O. Howard Stringer.

This vile corporate raider does not know the meaning of hard work, opting to steal every copyright, patent and trademark he can get his greasy fingers on. It is the opinion of the Judiciary Report, he needs some hard labor.

Houston needs to be careful in future regarding the material selection for her albums.

Sony's Sour Grapes

Howard Stringer

Sony has a bad case of sour grapes, coveting Nintendo's success in taking gaming mainstream, whilst discounting the company in attempting to steal that title. Sony has no class whatsoever. It is amazing the lows they stoop to, resentful of other's accomplishments, they often pilfer.

In other Sony news, they are being accused of ripping off Twitter, for a new venture they've recently unveiled.

Sony is not contributing anything to the marketplace, just stealing from merchants all over the world, illegally claiming other people's protected intellectual property as their own.

Sony: We broke the mainstream barrier, not Nintendo

08.25.2009, Jim Sterling - Many people would claim that it was the Wii that truly cracked the mainstream audience and brought gaming to a whole new demographic. However, those are people who inhabit reality, and not the bizarre fantasy realm that Sony executives live in while they lick hallucinogenic toads and quaff vast amounts of LSD. According to Kaz Hirai it's the PS2, not the Wii, that brought gaming to the general public.

"The most successful console is still the PS2 and it's still going strong," claims Hirai, comparing a console released nine years ago to a console released three years ago. "I think that's the console that really broke the barrier from videogames being just for videogamers into more of a mass market on a global basis. Nintendo's obviously done a great job in following that mass acceptance."

Yes, because it's the PlayStation 2 that is known to all soccer moms, gets played in retirement homes, and has enjoyed mainstream press coverage since it was released.

Seriously, Sony truly is stocked to the gills with some of the most deluded, logic-leaping nutcases the industry has ever seen. What is it about being in third place that instantly renders a company out-of-touch and completely insane? Oh well, at least it must be fun living in a world where all the clouds have smiles and marshmallow elephants tuck you into beds made out of money and sugardrops.

Sony Suffering Sales Losses

Howard Stringer

Sony and Sony Ericsson continue to suffer massive sales losses, in a terrible financial decline that refuses to abate. Sony's image in the world is so ugly now, people are not inspired to buy from them, due to their dirty corporate practices, such as copyright, patent and trademark infringement.

They've suffered a fresh string of embarrassing losses and defeats recently, posting huge sales declines and having to withdraw some of their product lines, due to the fact people are not buying them.

What is Sony CEO and resident animal's solution to this quagmire, fire more people and force out company junior CEOs, when the problem lays with him, as he is bar none one of the most corrupt, thieving, devious, despicable human beings on the planet. You and Sony are criminals.

Sony Ericsson Reshuffles Leadership, Looks to Tighten Product Line

08/17/09 2:27 PM PT - Executives at both Sony and Ericsson will take new leadership positions at Sony Ericsson, the duo's joint venture in the mobile handheld space. Ericsson's Bert Nordberg will become Sony Ericsson's president upon the retirement of current prez Hideki Komiyama. Meanwhile, Sony Chairman and CEO Howard Stringer will also serve as Sony Ericsson's chairman.

Bert Nordberg, a 14-year veteran of telecom system provider Ericsson (Nasdaq: ERICY) More about Ericsson, has been named president of Sony Ericsson, the firm's joint cellphone venture with the Japanese consumer electronics giant. He'll be succeeding Hideki "Dick" Komiyama, a Sony (NYSE: SNE) More about Sony executive who has led Sony Ericsson More about Sony Ericsson since 2007 and is now headed for retirement.

Nordberg will be co-president of Sony Ericsson -- a new position for the firm -- beginning Sept. 1 and will assume full responsibility on Oct. 15.

In another executive reshuffle, Sony Ericsson has also tapped Sir Howard Stringer, Sony's chairman and chief executive, to take over the chairmanship of the Sony Ericsson board. The role is currently held by Carl-Hendric Svanberg, the Ericsson chief executive, who is in line to become chairman of BP in the United Kingdom.

Although prompted by outside circumstance -- Komiyama's retirement -- the moves may be necessary for the venture to right itself in the face of sharply declining revenues.

Dwindling Commitment?

Sony Ericsson, now in its eighth year, has lost at least US$1 billion in the past 12 months. There have also been questions about the companies' -- particularly Ericsson's -- commitment to the endeavor because of their own recent struggles with market forces and falling cash balances, Ronald Gruia, principal analyst and program leader of Frost & Sullivan's More about Frost & Sullivan emerging telecoms and ICT practice, told the E-Commerce Times...

Sony Pulls The Plugs On OLED Due To Losses & Production Problems

18/08/2009 - Bleeding cash and TV market share, Sony has now said that they will not deliver a new OLED TV this year because of costs and production problems. New research has also revealed that 4 out of 10 Sony OLED TV panels made are dumped because of production problems.

Hailed 18 months ago as the breakthrough TV technology that would catapult Sony into a dominant position in the TV display market, OLED TV is now turning into a lemon for the Japanese TV maker who in Australia has seen their TV display market share savaged by Samsung.

Also in Australia Sony is struggling with several other products with the Company recently admitting that they have had to replace faulty Sony Walkman and Vaio Notebooks that are prone to melting.

In an admission to the Wall Street Journal Sony has said that they are set to delay the launch of its next organic light emitting diode, or OLED, television because mass producing the new ultrathin displays would exacerbate losses at its TV division.

In Australia the Company is trying to sell a tiny 11" OLED TV for $6,999 which is $2,000 more than some vendors are selling a 55" Full HD TV for, complete with a free Nintendo Wii gaming console...

In previous ChannelNews stories we reported that Sony Chief Executive Howard Stringer had said in May 2008 that Sony would have a 27-inch OLED television available within 12 months.

Mariah Carey's Career Tanking Again

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon

Pop singer, Mariah Carey, is running for cover, as her career has started tanking again and in a massive way. Instead of celebrating her pending 40th birthday with dignity and grace, she has opted for an overly youthful, street album that does not suit her.

Eminem

Not to mention, she took verbal shots at acerbic rapper, Eminem, who let her have it with a counter-diss track titled "The Warning" which humiliated her all over the internet.

Miley Cyrus

Her current project has turned into an absolute fiasco, where everything that could go wrong has, much to her chagrin. Her big planned performance on the Today Show, has now been replaced by one featuring another MC, popular teen singer, Miley Cyrus (stay off that stripper pole, girl).

To be frank, Carey's new single stinks and her voice is even more depleted than the last go round. But she's not the only one in trouble.

Whitney Houston

Sony singer, the talented Whitney Houston, is in a bit of a pickle as well, as her producers have done a subpar job with her current record, wasting her talent and time. But leave it to the vile head of Sony, Howard Stringer, to let something like this happen.

Man-donna

Then, there's the only female singer in the bunch of imminent forthcoming releases who can't sing, Madonna, coming back with more stupid sounding trash that's sure to tank her greatest hits record.

It's official, mainstream music is toast.

Mariah Carey Calls Out, Miley Cyrus Fills In at TODAY Show

Originally planned for Friday, August 28 and anticipated by fans around the world for weeks, including those who entered to receive tickets from NBC, the gig was called off late Wednesday.

In an email sent to parties confirmed to attend and those on a waiting list, NBC producers did not provide a reason for Carey's cancellation but instead confirmed actress/entertainer Miley Cyrus as a fill in.

"The previously announced Mariah Carey performance on Friday, August 28th has been canceled. This date will now feature a performance by MILEY CYRUS," NBC confirmed...

Sony Still Bleeding Money

Howard Stringer

Sony continues to hemorrhage money at a alarming, yet deserved rate. Things have gotten so bad with them, the only way they can show slightly less losses is to fire thousands of employees, from their lawbreaking corporation. Keep it up and pretty soon, Stringer will be the only one left in the building.

Kelly Clarkson

Please keep the boycott going, as Sony has kept the stealing going. Last night, by accident I caught a glimpse of a Kelly Clarkson performance on TV and her new song "Already Gone" is a dead rip off of a song I wrote as a teenager and copyrighted with the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. many years ago. I was so upset, offended and disgusted last night.

Britney Spears

They are unconscionable animals doing great harm to innocent people and deserve to be boycotted and brought to justice. As God is my witness, this entire criminal enterprise they have running is going to end very badly, in them forfeiting their freedom and fortunes, built on corruption and theft.

Their sanctimonious CEO, Howard Stringer, who is the devil incarnate and his criminal stars like Beyonce, Chris Brown, Will Smith and Kelly Clarkson, go around spewing off these grandiose, loquacious speeches about Sony being innovative and bringing the public something new, when all they do is sit around on their lazy backsides, willfully and knowingly stealing songs, movies, computer chips and technology from dozens of hardworking companies, inventors and writers.
