George Clinton A copyright lawsuit was filed with a value of $ 100 million against former business partner Armin Buladian and his music company in Bridges, claiming that Bouladian had obtained copyright by about 90 percent of the catalog.
In the case, it was presented today at the Florida Provincial Court and reviewed by diverseClinton claims that Boladian, Bridgeport, as well as Records Westbound, Nine Records, Southfield Music and Eastbound Records, continue illegally to benefit from his music. Clinton held a press conference outside the Apollo Theater to announce the lawsuit along with his lawyer Ben Krumb and his lawyer, saying that he intends to restore the ownership of the catalog to provide the wealth of generations to his family.
“These songs we are talking about are my historical,” Clinton said. “I have to fight for them, I must make sure that I did not do all of this throughout my life and have my family here, not getting what is due to them, and what they inherit.
The lawsuit claims that Bouladian, Clinton’s business partner for a long time, has blocked millions of dollars from royalties and participating in deceptive and fraudulent practices over the years. Clinton claims that between 1982 and 1985, Bouladian made multiple versions of agreements that define additional rights to the face and added names and false names to copyright records to reduce shares in his rights.
In the past, Boladian was useful due to the commercial use of Clinton’s music, as he filed hundreds of lawsuits in 2001 against musicians who took samples of his work. The lawsuit submitted today indicates that Clinton was not included as a plaintiff in these lawsuits and none of the two millions of Baladian received.
Bouladian did not respond immediately diverseRequest to comment.
Clinton and two countries were imprisoned in the legal war for years, as Clinton lost a lawsuit for copyright against him in 2001 after a judge in Florida ruled that written music from 1976-1983 was concerned with Bouladian Bridjport’s music. In 2021, Bouladian lost a defaming lawsuit against Clinton because of the allegations that the music he made in his 2014 “Brothhas Be, Yo Like George, is this not Funkin ‘Kinda on You?: A MEMOIR.” In the book, Clinton claimed that Bouladian had “fabricated documents”, “stolen” from his songs and “supernatural” contracts.
“I will continue to talk about the truth to power and fight the forces that have separated many of the songwriters from their music,” Clinton said at his press conference. “I encourage all my fellow artists to investigate, interrogate, litigate, poverty, and reveal. If we do not get this correctly, they win, and I refuse to allow them to win. This is related to my family and the family of other old artists, and we are able to give the wealth of generations to our family from our intellectual property.”
