Beyonce Steals Again This Time Ripping Off Short Film For HBO Lemonade Special Resulting In Copyright Infringement Lawsuit

Unethical singer Beyonce has become known to audiences for making a career out of stealing copyrights from people in America and all over the world. The stolen copyrights are worth millions of dollars. Beyonce steals copyrights and then converts said intellectual property for her own illegal use, which constitutes massive financial crimes.

Copyright infringement is a criminal violation of federal law in America and United Nations law in the international community. It has been a terrible pattern of criminal behavior on Beyonce's part and that of her husband, rapper Jay Z, for every single project they have released during their respective careers. The couple have also corrupted court cases via bribery to get away with the illegal conduct, when lawsuits are filed against them for copyright infringement.

  

Beyonce's most recent album "Lemonade" has been hit with several copyright infringement claims from different, unrelated people (Beyonce Steals Again Illegally Using Copyrighted Footage For Her Deceitful New Video ‘Formation’ While Ripping Off A Model's Pictures And Is Slammed By The National Sheriffs' Association and Beyonce Slammed By Rapper For Stealing Images From His Album 'Lemonade'). One of the most flagrant is Beyonce's outright criminal theft of the 2014 short film "Palinoia" by news station creative director, Matthew Fulks, who was known to the singer's label Sony prior to the thefts. Greedy, immoral Sony tried to hire Fulks to direct a music video, but decided it would be cheaper to steal from him. Beyonce infringed Fulks' short film "Palinoia" via copyright infringement, two years after its release, for her 2016 "Lemonade" special that aired on the cable channel HBO. 

Fulks has understandably sued Beyonce, who then had the unmitigated gall to file legal paperwork in court via her lawyer, demanding a declaration that she did not steal his work. BUT SHE DID!  Anyone can see Beyonce stole his work in conduct she keeps engaging in at many people's expense. Beyonce legal filing is arrogant, criminal, fraudulent and a vile abuse of the American court system. 

To file such paperwork, knowing full well she stole Fulks' preexisting copyrighted works, constitutes perjury, as one attests documents filed in American courts of law are truthful, accurate and in compliance with the statutes government them. Why are you lying in court papers. It is so arrogant, devious and slimy. Who is Beyonce kidding with this. One look at Fulks' PREEXISTING work then Beyonce's copyright theft that ripped off his work TWO YEARS LATER and it immediately becomes apparent she stole his intellectual property.  

Beyonce's pathetic, dubious excuse is that her rip off HBO special is about a black woman, while Fulks' preexisting short film is about a white man. Is she crazy (rhetorical question). First of all, don't pull the race card invoking black women's struggles when you are going around acting like a crazy, mindless, greedy eyed criminal stealing from everyone. This is not a racial matter. You are a thief. As a black woman I state, don't involve us in your crap. Your thieving behavior feeds into negative stereotypes of black people. You are apart of the problem. 

Beyonce has stolen copyrights from a number of black, Hispanic and white artists, in her greedy quest for untold fame and riches she is not entitled to under the law, depriving others of their property and paychecks. By the way, judging by public feedback on social networking, newspaper website feedback sections and message boards, people firmly believe Beyonce stole Fulk's work. 

Beyonce is sick in the head to pretend in a court of law that she didn't steal his work and seek a court declaration to that effect. Either Beyonce has surrounded herself with yes people or something is misfiring in her thieving, struggling brain that she thinks this chronic criminal behavior constituting financial crimes is acceptable human conduct and that no one notices. Millions of people notice. Hence the 50% sales drop between Beyonce's current album and its predecessor.

If you can support or try to excuse Beyonce and or Jay Z's thieving criminal behavior that keeps depriving people of their intellectual property and money, something is wrong with your moral compass as well. You need to do some introspective searching in your mind and soul, in an attempt to ascertain why you are supporting and promoting thieving criminals. Because I'm certain, if someone showed up on every one of your paydays and kept stealing your checks and cashing them like dirty degenerates raised by other depraved dirty degenerates, you wouldn't find it amusing, decent or humane (and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as Beyonce's parents stole $32,000,000 from the kids of her deceased manager, resulting in a lawsuit against them and Beyonce). 

Think about how you would react to doing hard work then repeatedly being robbed on your job and stop pretending others should accept that from Jay Z and Beyonce, because that's what those two thieves keep doing for undue financial enrichment. Better yet, if you think Beyonce and Jay Z's thieving financial crimes are appropriate, I want you to donate every single one of your paychecks to charity indefinitely. Of course, you will say how will you pay your bills if you donate all your paychecks? Exactly. Then you will know how Beyonce and Jay Z's victims feel being repeatedly victimized by those two thieves, who have criminally diverted the financial revenues from others they've brazenly stolen from like dirty leeches. 

You have to be psychotic to be stealing from people like that, then publicly bragging about how much money you've made from what is criminal behavior. U.S. and international law make no allowances for theft of copyright or finances, neither does it permit defrauding others out of their money and or property, which both Jay Z and Beyonce have done to others. 

It's quite appalling what some in the black community are calling role models - two ignorant, illiterate, uneducated thieves robbing people left right and center, while bragging about alleged net worth gained via serious financial crimes. They're no better than Madoff. And just like Madoff's day came - so will theirs. Beyonce and Jay Z are an embarrassment and a disgrace.

Fulks deserves to win the case, as Beyonce has clearly and willfully infringed his copyrights. However, here's the problem. Sony and Warner Bros have a penchant for bribing judges and the U.S. Supreme Court. It has been my personal experience. Miami judge, Cecilia Altonaga, corrupted a case I had against Sony and Warner Bros in relation to depraved Madonna over copyright infringement, while concealing the fact Sony had given her child stock in their company and her husband's law firm is giving hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal work by the companies as well. She ended up having to admit the gross conflict of interest in court papers. When the case got to the Supreme Court level, Warner Bros bribed Chief Justice, John Roberts with several hundred thousand dollars in stock in their company to deny the claim and criminally award them my PREEXISTING copyrights they stole (The Associated Press Accuses U.S. Supreme Court Judges Of Taking Stocks As Bribes And They're Right). The U.S. justice system is completely corrupt. It is full of bribery, rigging and fraud. Just ask Hillary Clinton and the FBI and the Department of Justice.

I can also attest, my late godmother's husband, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, the Jamaican music producer who started reggae music and discovered Bob Marley, creating a genre of music that went on to become a billion dollar industry, was terribly ripped off by Sony as well. Their crap excuse for stealing his music was "We didn't know who it belonged to" which was an outright lie. Copyright law has no provisions for stealing copyrights because you allegedly didn't know who it belonged to when you criminally took it without permission or payment to the owner. Sony are the biggest copyright and patent thieves in the world of music, film, television, electronics and computer software. You will find none worse. Warner Bros/Time Warner is a close second.

Hold up! Beyonce files legal papers denying she stole ideas from indie filmmaker's short film Palinoia for her Lemonade visual album
 

Published: 21:07 EST, 22 July 2016 | Updated: 02:37 EST, 23 July 2016 - Beyonce has denied that her visual album Lemonade ripped off a 2014 short film. The pop star filed court documents refuting filmmaker Matthew Fulks's legal claim that Lemonade is 'substantially similar' to his film Palinoia and that she stole his ideas, TMZ reports. But Beyonce says the films have very different storylines, pointing out that her HBO special is about 'an African-American woman who progresses through stages of suspicion, denial, anger and, ultimately, reconciliation in her relationship,' according to court documents seen by the gossip site. 

 Sued! Beyonce has been accused of 'copying' the work of an independent filmmaker from Kentucky for her Lemonade trailer. In contrast, Matthew's film was about a 'white man who is distressed in the wake of a failed relationship,' her lawyers say. Matthew, an independent filmmaker from Louisville, Kenucky, sued Beyonce in June after seeing a trailer for Lemonade. He says her visual album 'stole' ideas from his short film. 

Beyonce's highly-publicized one minute promotional video for her HBO special aired in April, ahead of the release of her sixth studio album and film. Matthew alleges in his lawsuit that his 2014 short film, Palinoia, had been seen by members of the team working on the Lemonade video, and that Beyonce's video was created months later and was 'visually similar.' Fulks, who lives in Louisville, Kentucky, alleges that the pop singer, her management company, Parkwood Entertainment, Sony Music Entertainment and Columbia Recording Corporation, infringed on his copyright.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, points to nine instances - about 39 seconds of the 65-second trailer - that Fulks says are visually similar. It seeks unspecified monetary damages. The Lemonade trailer was 'substantially similar' to Fulks' film, including a similar mood, setting, pace and fonts, he says in the lawsuit. 

The similarities cited in the complaint include 'graffiti and persons with heads down,' 'red persons with eyes obscured,' 'parking garage,' 'stairwell,' 'black and white eyes,' 'title card screens,' 'the grass scene,' 'feet on the street,' 'side-lit ominous figures.' Matthew Fulks has filed a legal claim, according to The Hollywood Reporter, saying Lemonade is 'substantially similar' to his 2014 short Palinoia. 

THR.com posted a copy of Fulks' complaint filed in New York against Beyonce's Parkwood Entertainment, Sony Music and Columbia Recording. Fulks, who works as a creative director at a Louisville news station, is seeking a share of the profits that proceeded from the 'exploitation of his work,' THR.com reported, including sales of the Lemonade album.

He says that an executive at Columbia had approached him in 2015 about an opportunity to direct a music video and that his information including a link to Palinoia were sent to others at the label. The Lemonade video started shooting in late 2015. The release of HBO's Lemonade and the album made headlines around the world for its lyrics about infidelity and Beyonce's relationship with her husband, 46-year-old rapper Jay Z.  The dark visual album showed her smashing in cars with a baseball bat, and addressed themes of adultery, revenge and ultimately forgiveness.

Chris Brown Slams The Grammy Awards In Online Tirade

Chris Brown

R&B singer, Chris Brown, has slammed the Grammys, after receiving only one nomination this year. Brown was given a nomination for his song "Only" featuring rapper Nicki Minaj. Brown tweeted, "#GRAMMY? This is probably the main reason I love being free to create any kind of music I want. Too many people kiss as* and work less. If u turn on ya radio right now I promise within the hour you will hear Chris Brown on damn near half the songs I've co-written." Then Brown deleted the tweets.  

Brown is right about the Grammys. They are completely corrupted. I will cite a few examples. It's a disgrace that untalented Jay Z (21 Grammys), who is a chronic copyright thief, has more Grammy awards than the exceptionally talented music legends, Michael Jackson (13 Grammys) and Aretha Franklin (16).

Jay Z's wife, the marginally talented Beyonce (20 Grammys), another chronic copyright thief, also has more Grammys than Jackson and Franklin, which is an absolute disgrace. Do they realize how absurd and ridiculous they look as an awards committee having done this. I can't even take the Grammys seriously anymore after they did such a disgraceful and corrupt thing. It reeks of bribery. Yea, I said it. You should be embarrassed, as it looks so bad and cheapens the award.

Jay Z and Beyonce are the butt of jokes all over the internet for stealing copyrights for every project they release, yet due to music industry corruption, they are constantly on the podium accepting Grammy awards for stealing other people's preexisting copyrighted material.

On what planet are Jay Z and Beyonce more talented than Michael Jackson and Aretha Franklin. It's clear the Grammy committee has lost its collective mind to let the award fall to such a low. It has become a con and a farce. Jay Z's artist, Rihanna, who can't sing to save her life and has made a career out of copyright infringement, won Grammys as well. Madonna, who's whole career is one act of copyright infringement after another, none of her work belongs to her, won Grammys as well.

This corruption has completely removed the prestige of the award to the point many people don't value or care about it anymore. The whole thing is completely rigged.

Years ago I tried nominating the late, legendary music producer, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, the man who invented reggae music, for an award (he is my godmother's husband). Madonna got involved and did her level best to thwart it and succeeded in doing so, via a situation she should not have even been involved in at all. The Grammy committee placed all sorts of obstacles in my way, via an email exchange that revealed the corruption. Dodd invented a style of music that has grossed billions of dollars in sales (he was the first to sign Bob Marley) and is known all over the world, yet they did this. I will never respect or honor the Grammys again. I don't even watch the telecast anymore. Waste of time.

I do believe a time is coming when the Grammys will start rescinding awards they had previously issued, as was done regarding Milli Vanilli, as the farce that has been transpiring with certain artists, particularly on Sony, is going to single-handedly take that awards down.

When Stars Go Broke

A Cautionary Tale

 

 

The entertainment industry is a very unscrupulous place. Many stars do not make much money, as greedy managers sometimes take ridiculously high commissions. While in some cases, stars do make a lot of money, but spend too much and fail to meet their financial obligations, such as paying taxes.

When you start making money one of your first priorities should be putting aside money for taxes. You have to pay the state. That’s just how it works. Not paying is more costly than actually paying, as fines and penalties will accrue and a potential jail sentence and the type of negative publicity that hurts careers.

One has to have a business plan. How to make one’s income grow and last. One should always double check with other sources, information given to you by your business manager and accountant, as not everyone is honest.

If you buy a house, have it properly checked for defects and accurately appraised. If you invest in a business, double check all the projected financials and the business histories of those involved in the enterprise. Be careful getting into business with family and friends. Lay down ground rules to let them know business is business, professionalism is imperative and not to take any liberties or things for granted.

Do not overextend yourself counting on money you haven’t made yet to get you out of any potential trouble. Look at what you have now in the bank as what you have. Don’t bank on future earnings as anything can happen and derail it.

Many stars spend too much money, like the cash flow will always be there, when for many it will not be. Going out to clubs and buying expensive bottles of liquor and or "making it rain" via throwing money around for others to pick up, is fiscally irresponsible.

Repeatedly buying expensive clothes and jewelry, purchasing costly cars and taking lavish trips are sure ways to go broke. Spending money on luxury homes and car rentals, expensive liquor and high priced dinners is another way to lose your money. You can treat yourself, but not all the time if funds are limited. Always work with what you have, not what you hope to or think you will financially make.

The most sensible thing one can do is purchase a house or apartment (flat), even if it is a fixer upper in a modest neighborhood – hey at least it’s yours – and you can renovate and add a room or two to it (a house) as funds become available.

My late godmother’s husband, Clement Coxsonne Dodd, ran a successful record label with his wife while he was alive and even signed Bob Marley to his first record deal. They released a number of groundbreaking recordings, as Coxsonne is the man that started reggae. He knew the value of labor, having worked in sugarcane fields in America to earn and save money to start his label in Jamaica.

My parents have spoken about it over the years, stating it is a curious thing to watch what some artists spent their royalty checks on. Rather than saving or investing their money, some entertainers chose to buy flashy cars and expensive clothes that eventually go out of style, trying to live up to public opinion of what a star should be and have to their name. Then later, some wound up with little or nothing over poor financial choices. It’s a pattern that has repeated itself at many record labels and film studios around the world.

You can’t force people to make responsible financial decisions, but you can warn them. Some will listen and be better off for it, while others won’t and will meet with financial calamity and ruination.

Justin Bieber Snubbed By The Grammys Leading His Manager To Slam Them

Justin Bieber and Scooter Braun

Pop singer Justin Bieber is dejected today, as he discovered he has been snubbed by the Grammy Awards, after pushing for a record number of nominations. Bieber's manager Scooter Braun went on a rant regarding the Grammy committee overlooking him, "This time there wont be any wise words, no excuses, I just plain disagree. The kid deserved it. Grammy board you blew it on this one...This time he deserved to be recognized and I don't really have any kind nice positive things to say about a decision I don't agree with."

Me personally, after seeing the process firsthand in dealing with the Grammy committee, regarding a deceased music legend I tried to get on the ballot in an appropriate category a few years ago, who started his own form of music, reggae, wrote and produced more music than most and discovered and signed Bob Marley (Clement Coxsone Dodd, my late godmother's husband), I can say in all honesty before God I would not want a Grammy.

It's complete rubbish. The process is pure foolishness. Never again. It is rigged. Furthermore, when you see who constantly wins, artists with little or no talent, who are constantly and credibly sued for committing copyright infringement, it invalidates the entire award. 

When you find out the level of music industry politics that goes into it and the sheer number of butts you have to kiss, it is not worth it. The nominations and voting process for the award is so suspect. It's who you know (and bow to and often in more ways than one) not what you do (music, talent ect). I've been telling you guys that on the site for years...

Buju Banton Facing New Charges After Mistrial

Buju Banton

37-year-old dancehall singer, Buju Banton, real name, Mark Anthony Myrie, was arrested in Miami, Florida, in December 2009, on cocaine possession charges. However, the initial case resulted in a mistrial in September 2010. Banton, had been remanded into custody and denied bail throughout the case, but was recently freed.

A few weeks ago, the U.S. government declared it is indicting Banton on the same charges again, adding two new counts to the case.

Many believe Banton was targeted, due to his anti-gay lyrics, on negative songs such as "Boom Bye Bye." Pro-gay groups have consistently hounded organizers into dropping him from concerts.

While the Judiciary Report retains its Christian faith, adhering to the Bible view that homosexuality is a sin that God offers forgiveness for, if there is repentance, a theme others such as Joel Osteen have stated as well, Banton and entertainers who make similar music, should not record violent lyrics. Yes, they have the right to free speech, but it is unkind to incite violence through music or any other medium. This needs to stop.

Dancehall is an offshoot of reggae, which was not violent. When my godmother's husband, the late Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, created reggae music, it was positive and uplifting. The music spoke of love and discussed social struggles, such as inequality, racism and poverty, giving people hope.

Dodd signed Bob Marley to his first deal and the singer/musician went on to spread a message of love, through songs like, "One Love," "Could You Be Love," "Is This Love," "No Woman No Cry" and "Redemption Song" to name a few. Marley's music touched the masses and also grossed over $3 billion dollars and counting.

From reggae sprang dancehall and later rap, two genres that have become quite negative, departing from its early positive roots. Count Machuki, who started rap in Jamaica as apart of Coxsone's sound system, then DJ Kool Herc, who brought it to America, inspired positive music from artists such as the Sugarhill Gang.

Regrettably, others later misused the genres and turned them into something undesirable and full of negative sounds. In the 1990s, things took a turn for the worse, when dancehall spewed heinous "murder music" in Tivoli Gardens (Jamaica) and rap gave birth to a terrible offspring, known as "gangsta rap" in Compton (America). Things swiftly went downhill from there.

Banton did begin his career with uplifting tracks, such as the infectious and touching, "I Wanna Be Loved" - a song even Bob Marley would have loved. However, Banton later departed from that sound, which he should have retained, rather than going the other route. Banton would do well to return to positivity in his music and life.

The Judiciary Report prefers comedic dancehall music, such as the hilarious song "Clarks" as opposed to violent or lewd songs, which are debasing. Two years ago, the Jamaican government began an initiative to ban violent and explicit music from the nation's airwaves and it was the right thing to do.

Brad Pitt Talks Too Much

Actor Brad Pitt, who left his wife of five years, actress Jennifer Aniston, to be with thespian-lesbian, Angelina Jolie, has been yapping away for an interview.

The once Baptist, Pitt, turned out by Hollywood bisexuality, claims he has found a soul mate in atheist, Angelina Jolie, has abandoned his faith in God and is upset because religious organizations denounced his stance on gay marriage, because he supposedly believes in equal rights.

Jennifer Aniston

What a crock. Considering your film company and others affiliated with you have been to this website and my Copyrighted Catalog did illegally pass through your company, Plan B, in conjunction with thieving ringleader Madonna and her label/film studio Warner Bros, with whom you have a distribution deal, I'm not buying that "I believe in equal rights" rubbish from you. Practice what you preach, buddy.

Not to mention, your so-called soul mate starring in the copyright infringing film "Salt" being produced by Sony, who robbed my godmother's husband, who invented reggae music, to the point he had to sue them, in a separate incident invited me to their offices via email, which I did not oblige, then took it full circle in criminally robbing me of a fortune in copyrights they gained illegal access to, I do not believe you and Jolie are the goody-two-shoes you pretend to be. I now believe you are frauds and I have lost all respect for both of you.

Angelina Jolie

Furthermore, the industry knows you are in lust, not love with Jolie and are with her because she brought you all this public attention. The fame machine surrounding the two of you has been going full speed for a few years.

However, it is also difficult to respect your choices in leaving your loyal wife, whom you actually loved, because people were telling you "Angelina's hotter." Grow some testicles, already...and a proverbial spine, while you're at it.

"And great shall be the fall thereof."

Brad Pitt Comments on Marrying His "Soul Mate" Angelina

August 06, 2009 - After years of dating and six children together, we often forget that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie aren't married. They seem to have a picture perfect family life, but why haven't they tied the knot yet?

During an interview with Parade magazine Brad opens up about his "soul mate" Angelina and why they won't get married right now, smoking too much weed, and religion. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Brad on why he won't marry Angelina right now:

“I have love in my life, a soul mate—absolutely. When someone asked me why Angie and I don’t get married, I replied, ‘Maybe we’ll get married when it’s legal for everyone else.’ I stand by that, although I took a lot of flak for saying it—hate mail from religious groups. I believe everyone should have the same rights. They say gay marriage ruins families and hurts kids. Well, I’ve had the privilege of seeing my gay friends being parents and watching their kids grow up in a loving environment.”

Brad on Prop 8:

"It's ridiculous that Prop 8 took away gay people's right to marry! I have no understanding of that kind of hatred. Maybe it's fear of difference or of the unknown. If you feel belittled, maybe you need someone else to belittle to feel powerful. It's the only way I know how to explain it. You've got religion telling you what to think about homosexuality, about marriage. They say homosexuality is a choice, a lifestyle, something you can be cured of, and that isn't true. But if you're tucked away and have no friends who are gay, you'll believe what the preachers say. Just think of it in terms of being in love--how would you feel if someone told you that you couldn't be with the person you loved?"

Brad on growing up Christian:

"I grew up in a Christian community and for me the positive thing was that once a week, on Sundays, we focused on bigger issues. But the negative to me is that it was very stifling in the end because it was about what you can't do. Now, Christians will argue, 'That's not true.' To me, I just found Christianity to be, 'Don't do this, don't do that.'"

Brad on France being better than the U.S.:

"There's real value in the quality of life in France. They've got a great healthcare system, great education. The Lycee Francaise is a bilingual international school that works for us because we can plug the kids into the school program even if we are off doing a movie somewhere, like London or New York. Most places have a Lycee program.
