Ed's Bootlegs (inc. Supreme Court summons), not so legal after all? Options

[jclive]

I contend there is way more bad actions on David Levin. This is the real meat of the lawsuit.....he violated his fiduciary obligations and sided, conspired, acted with Ed.
I listed the 5 principal allegations:

a) Breach of Fiduciary Duty (Levin & DLBM)
b) Aiding and Abetting Breach of Fiduciary Duty (Ed & FVI)
c) Breach of Contract (Ed)
d) Tortious Interference with Contract (Levin, DLBM & FVI)
e) Equitable Accounting (Levin & DLBM)

Agreed on that for sure. Levin, DLBM, and FVI will bear the brunt of whatever comes out of this. There will be very little, if any, that directly affects Ed K.

I know burd isnt here anymore to comment on this.. but come on yall, I sure hope everyone understands these things. Has anyone here ever been served with a Summons? They are written by one party! They can put anything they damn well please into them, and twist it any way that the like or intend. Its not even close to analogous to selling products on a shelf (soup).

Thank you come again! - Apu

Don't worry.. Edward's lawyer will twist their side too! Can't wait to hear the reply.

Yeah but don't forget that FVI is Ed's company.

The sun had just faded
She's wonderin', where are we now?
I don't know who, who I am
I aint never felt like this before
Am I dreamin'?
Or is this the real world
Your love's too good for me

Lay with me lady, you're drivin' me crazy
I promised you all my life
These things they sustain me, oh how they drain me
But I'll never hang you out to dry
I'll never hang you out to dry

As far as Ed is concerned, it comes down to two questions: (1) was the Mucho Loco contract covered by the 2005 Agreement, and (2) does he owe royalties on his website sales.

It depends on the terms of the contracts. Unless there is some legal maneuvering going on here, it looks to me like Ed owes the other guys the amounts they are seeking.

I don't care about David Levin.

And the rest is just personal conflict and hurt feelings.

Come on yourself. Not everyone chooses to be as cynical as you. Especially when some of us have many interactions with C, C and P and CT's blog (endorsed by all 3) that could lead someone to believe they wouldn't outright lie about this. Not to mention Ed's spotty track record. Sorry someone served you on bogus pretenses but not everyone has the same perspective.

"Believe" is a very key word here. Thank you for pointing that out.

But you know it to be not true, or that's what you believe?

This is a delusion. FVI is Ed's company, and he is named several times in this lawsuit.

He could also potentially owe them a lot of money.

NOW the potentially fraudulent contract stuff may end up on Levin more than EK, but to say it may not affect him at all is kind of nuts.

In this case, what I know is only what I have read. It doesnt mean that it is true. It doesnt mean that it's not true either. Only that I have read it.

What I believe to be true is completely separate from that.

You suggested it could be false based on your experience. I suggested it's not likely to be false based on my experience. Who cares. As has been stated, we'll probably never know anyway and all we'll be left with is the court of public opinion. In mine, he's guilty as charged.

Now you get it!

Is it album release time yet!?!?

I've been searching for public notes on what may be happening in the courtroom, here's one of them. I suspect the selling of bootlegs on Ed's website are not legal as they appear.

Heeey alright, this is leagues above the Outtodry who couldn't even find any CT/Black Coffee connection on Google. Seriously, what did you search to get this? I don't care if you are a TGF band agent or not, this is sweet. I am looking forward to reading this.
