Court Orders Beatles Songs Off Internet Site, Echo & the Bunnymen Cancel Tour, more
-
Artist:
US District Court Judge John Walter has ordered the internet site Bluebeat.com to remove the Beatles songs that they were selling for 25 cents on their site. Bluebeat had argued that they owned the copyrights to what they were selling as they had re-recorded them as "audio visual performances with related sounds."
The judge issued a restraining order barring the site from any further streaming or selling of the songs and stated that he believed EMI would most likely win in a lawsuit against Bluebeat.
The Echo and the Bunnymen U.S. tour that was scheduled for this month has been canceled due to a dispute with the Internal Revenue Service. According to the band, "this is due to unreasonable demands presented by the IRS for the band to enter the USA to tour."
There must be on-going negotiations or a plan for payment of whatever is due as they have promised to tour the U.S. "from East to West coast in April 2010."
Gospel singer BeBe Winans, who is riding high on the charts at the moment with sister CeCe, has been removed from Oprah Winfrey's "karaoke challenge" that has been running on her show. Winans is currently charged with allegedly assaulting his ex-wife.
Winfrey was pressured to make the decision by a number of bloggers who felt she was being hypocritical after taking a stand earlier in the year against domestic violence.
Janet Jackson will give her first in-depth interview since the death of her brother Michael on In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts, set to air November 18 on ABC.
Santana will appear on the Monday night premier of George Lopez's new TBS series, Lopez Tonight.
