Sony About To Get Sued For Pirating Music In The Interview

[Victorious Secret]

 

Well, don't stop me from letting Sony add even more controversy from what might be one of the most controversial films OF ALL TIME (I hear Kanye trademarked that saying, so I gotta pay him his $3.50 for using it). 

 

This is just getting absurd on all levels. Anything else Sony needs to share about what the hell went on with this movie? 

 

 

As the controversy surrounding the The Interview continues, a singer is claiming that after failing to reach terms with Sony, the company put her music in the movie anyway. After receiving not a penny from the movie giant, Yoon Mi Rae is now set to sue. Meanwhile, 1.5 million pirates have downloaded the comedy.

 

Yoon Mi-rae (real name Natasha Shanta Reid) is a US-born hip hop and R&B singer who currently releases music on the Feel Ghood Music label. In January 2013 as part of MFBTY (My Fans Better Than Yours), the 33-year-old hit the number 1 spot in the Korean Music Charts and in September reached the same heights on Billboard’s Kpop Hot 100 list with her song ‘Touch Love’.

 

But while these recognitions were achieved by fans buying her music, she’s now in the spotlight for not getting paid for her work. It appears that Yoon Mi-rae was in negotiations with Sony to have her track ‘Pay Day’ appear in The Interview. Even though no agreement was reached, Sony used the music anyway.

 

“There were initial discussions for using ‘Pay Day‘ in the movie, but at some point, the discussions ceased and we assumed that it would not follow through,” Feel Ghood Music says.

 

“However, after the movie was released, we learned that the track had been used without permission, legal procedure, or contracts.”

[Laputacake]

I have nothing to say

[Sauron]

Sony hacked themselves to provide an excuse for the movie not to be released until the hype was so high they felt they could get way with stealing music. In the meanwhile Sony employees have been paid to falsely testify that their data had been stolen when in reality nothing had happened. Sony then hacked North Korea to make sure they couldn't prove their innocence.

 

Half life 3 confirmed.

"About to get sued"

 

 

There has been no judgement. How can you say they are about to get sued?

 

I could start a lawsuit against OP for wearing certain coloured socks. It means literally nothing. "OP is about ot get sued for wearing black, purple or white socks".

If Sony was stupid enough to pay her already without an iron clad contract present which would in turn get her laughed out of court and counter-sued, then they deserve to pay again. Seriously though there's no way a major studio accidentally missed something like that, they just thought before this controversy that the movie would fucking bomb and didn't expect to have to pay much to her anyways.
