For those asking questions about the suit. Lol "ATLANTA (CN) - Grammy Award-winning gospel singer Shirley Caesar sued Atlanta-based DJ Keenan Webb for the unauthorized use of one of her songs in the viral #UNameItChallenge remix video. The video, which Webb, also known as DJ Suede, removed from KZbin after the lawsuit was filed, is a remix of Caesar rapping a list of food names with an almost other-worldly conviction. The video went viral in November, spawning a dance craze before it was removed. In a complaint filed December 27 in DeKalb County Superior Court, Caesar claims that DJ Suede and his manager, Jullian Boothe, knew that they did not have the rights to her song “Hold My Mule,” but chose to release a remix of it anyway, and enter into a distribution deal with Empire Distribution Inc. The remix, “U Name It Challenge,” became a viral sensation, garnering over 10 million views on KZbin in just one month. A Gwinnett County Superior Court judge granted Caesar’s request for preliminary injunction in early December, and the parties began t negotiate a licensing agreement. However, the talks broke down and an agreement was never reached. Caesar then decided to record her song with a major recording artist and began negotiating a deal with a major label, the complaint says. Spin magazine later reported that the artist in question was Snoop Dogg and that the proceeds from the recording were to be dedicated to feeding the hungry. “At this point, it came to [Caesar’s] attention that not only had the Defendants entered into an agreement with Defendant Empire, but that the record (a different version than the internet version initially remixed by the Defendants) had been released on iTunes prior to them securing [Caesar’s] permission and negotiating permission to use [Caesar’s] master recording of the song,” the complaint says. The record is now being played in dozens of markets and a video for the song has been released and prominently featured on the Empire TV KZbin page. Since neither DJ Suede nor Empire Distribution Inc. secured the rights to the composition, Caesar is deprived of all iTunes royalties and streaming income from Pandora, Spotify, and other outlets. The blow to Caesar isn’t just financial, though - she says her reputation has suffered as well. “[Caesar’s] brand is well known for its positive Christian messages, which is being diluted by not only the Defendants’ infringement but also their reckless disregard for the images portrayed in the unauthorized release of their video. The illegal video promotes the consumption of alcohol, lewd dancing, cursing, and other vulgarities that negatively and permanently impact the ministry, the reputation, and the brand of Plaintiff Pastor Caesar, which she has worked decades to establish,” the complaint says. Caesar says the illegal release of the song has also prevented her from releasing a Thanksgiving-Christmas holiday album she recently recorded. “On a daily basis, Plaintiffs are losing substantial business opportunities resulting in irreparable harm,” the complaint says. Jullian Boothe, DJ Suede’s manager, declined to comment on the matter. Caesar is seeking a permanent injunction on the DJ and his management, a public admission that they infringed on her work, a full accounting of all proceeds from the release of the viral remix, and payment of her attorney fees and court costs. She is represented by James Walker Jr. of Atlanta."

Regardless if you believe in religion or not, you still have to respect the fact that she took even a moment in her interview to glorify God and give thanks to Him for the fact that she became so famous off of a meme. She is a very spiritual and humble woman, and I honestly hope that this song lasts throughout the ages.

[@dkland1980]

2 different situations. D.J Suede tried to make a profit by repackaging and selling a song she still has rights to (even though it was nicely repackaged). That's like the Disney song aweemaway (lion sleeps tonight). It was stolen, repackaged, and a profit was made by Disney. Well any sane person would sue🧐.... they settled out of court. Patty Pie singer, on the other hand, was just marketing. I do agree that Patti could have offered him a job or put in a good word to her promotion company that she contracts with to offer him a job or intern in public relations or marketing.

Roblox is

Read her words Black Christian's and say Oh Hell No to atheist Congress woman A.O. Cortez on her hate for Jesus. This is the new Democrat party. Don't just Walk Away............Run! Read the words of hate for Jesus by AOC: “I hear many people saying that President Trump embodies the virtue and morality of Jesus Christ. You know, I have to agree. Trump and Jesus are a lot alike. They’re both con artists who duped millions into believing their BS. Look at Trump. His followers are a cult. They blindly believe everything he says and think he is flawless. It’s pathetic. Two thousand years ago, a man named Jesus did exactly the same thing. He convinced his own cult that he was the son of God, of all things. How ridiculous is that? How can you be the son of something that doesn’t exist? It’s hilarious! Trump’s followers are generally God believers as well. They are the easiest to manipulate. After all people who believe in talking snakes and talking bushes and magical daddies in the sky who can do and know everything are obviously not the brightest people. Jesus was a grifter. Trump is the same. Only idiots follow either of them.” You maybe alone in the voting booth, but God sees for who you vote.
