Teddy Riley Files Lawsuit Against Former Members Of Blackstreet
The 90's R&B group, known for their soulful hits and club bangers, is now
wrapped up in a messy legal feud.
Legendary producer and former member of music group Blackstreet, Teddy Riley,
has filed a lawsuit against estranged group members for illegal use of the
quartet's name, VIBE magazine reports.
But Riley isn't taking on all his bandmates alone. According to the lawsuit,
Teddy Riley, who reportedly owns the Blackstreet trademark, also filed with
co-owner and group member Chauncey Black. The pair have held rights to the
name since 1992.
In the lawsuit, Riley and Black alleged that Mark Middleton and Eric Williams
have booked themselves for performances and used the name without permission
since 2003. Middleton and Williams have continued to use the trademark,
ignoring cease and desist letters sent by Riley and Black's lawyers.
"Defendants have used the name and mark Blackstreet in such a manner as to
create actual confusion and likelihood of confusion among prospective
customers and/or purchasers of the services provided by plaintiffs," the
lawsuit reads, according to AllHipHop.com.
Middleton and Williams admitted to having issues with Riley and Black during
a radio interview on Hartford, Connecticut's Hot 93.7. They claimed there
were "two sets" of Blackstreet because the two owners refused to share
proceeds.
According to AllHipHop.com, Riley and Black said that Middleton and Williams
signed a contract, stipulating they were "works for hire" and had no rights
to the trademark name.
大意是
Teddy Riley宣稱由他主導的R&B美聲團體BLACKstreet
這團名早在1992年就註冊了
但在2003年被Mark Middleton和Eric Williams拿去使用
他要告這兩位前團員侵權
因為這些年造成他們商業利益與聽眾的混淆
Mark和Eric說
當初BLACKstreet本來就是共用的
Teddy卻說
這兩人是被BLACKstreet僱用的
Mark和Eric近年來都在幕後寫歌與製作
我印象中好像沒有用BLACKstreet之名(待查)
而根據熟稔黑樂的朋友爆料
Teddy似乎有把籍籍無名創作人的作品盜用的紀錄
看來人品好像不怎麼高
這次的訴訟
也宣告BLACKstreet近期的重組計劃受挫
畢竟BLACKstreet本來就是團體形象
而且團員個個也都有料
即使Teddy Riley是主導其中運作
BLACKstreet這名字也是有趣
BLACK是Chauncey 'Hannibal' Black和Joseph Stonestreet的姓名縮寫
最後
誰能告訴我曾記麻薯到底是誰的呢????
