Usher
Sony singer Usher, has been sued in two unrelated lawsuits for copyright infringement. In one of the cases, there is a claim of criminal liability. I'm not surprised.
In the case, Ernest Lee Straughter et al v. Usher Raymond et al, the singer stands accused of stealing the song "Burn" that was a massive hit for him a few years ago. Technically, it is the biggest hit of his career.
Other copyright thefts mentioned in the case are the songs "Got Me Waiting" and "How To Deal." Sony and its artists Ciara and Fantasia have also been sued in the legal action. The serial criminal copyright infringers, 19 Entertainment (Simon Cowell and Simon Fuller) have also been sued in the case.
The case has the appearance of Sony's usual misconduct of passing around illegally made copies of other people's copyrights, in criminal violation of the law.
Keep it up and the U.S. government in going to raid Sony's headquarters in New York (you know, like the Mexican government had to do for your felonious refusal to desist criminally breaking copyright law).
Side Bar: one word to Sony C.E.O. Howard Stringer - pomade. There is no excuse for that hairdo. Notice

Usher has also been sued for copyright infringement, in the case Rashonda D. Gooch v. Usher Raymond et al: http://dockets.justia.com/docket
I have to concur, from experience, Usher is a copyright thief, as is mentioned in this case. His label Sony is the most thieving record company in existence.
The aforementioned Usher cases are being defended by Robert Jacobs of the Mannatt law firm. The Feds should be looking very thoroughly into Sony's lawyer, Robert Jacobs, as his conduct with certain judges would fill quite a few FBI files. He is discrediting the U.S. Judiciary all over the world.
