This book uses personal experience from direct association with major music industry personnel, contracts with major music publisher. This book is not just for the aspiring artists but it is also for those who are interested in learning how the world actually operates. Although the unethical practices are not limited to any single industry, even after providing solid evidence of unethical business practices, secured copyrights in response to copyright infringements and contracts, the standard response was to attempt to discredit, induce suicide and to intimidate. When you attempt to exercise your rights to seek justice through the courts, you face deliberate deprivation of rights, judicial misconduct and obstruction. The entire process facilitates betrayal, initiates competition among its writers/producers and battles for royalties. These publications are meant to speak on my behalf because I was never acknowledged or considered or consulted. I had a bulls-eye put on my back because I walked away from harmful situation and chaos ensued. I chose to not be subjected by those who saw an opportunity and not a person. I was never recognized as a human being. I was tried and convicted by the court of public opinion before I even knew that I was on trial! This book differs because it doesn’t just give you words from one person’s viewpoint, it provides step by step documentation proving how the artist works are stolen and how they are able to continue stealing lives with this modern day form of enslavement. This book uses personal experience from direct association with major music industry personnel, contracts with major music publisher- Zomba-BMG; Now - Universal Music Group, copyrights, court records and more to demonstrate tactics used to steal, oppress and destroy lives.

The Politics of Punk
Author: David A. Ensminger
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442254459
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
Punk rock has long been equated with the ever-shifting concepts of dissent, disruption, and counter-cultural activities. As a result, since its 1970s and 1980s incarnations, when bands in Britain—from The Clash and Sex Pistols to Angelic Upstarts, U.K. Subs, and Crass—offered alternative political convictions and subversive lifestyle choices, the media has often deemed punk a threat. Bands like Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, and Millions of Dead Cops followed suit in America, pushing similar boundaries as the music mutated into a harsher “hardcore” style that branched deep into suburban enclaves. Those antagonisms and ideals were, in turn, translated by another wave of bands—from Fugazi to Anti-Flag—whose commitment to community building was as pronounced as their taut, explosive tunes. In The Politics of Punk, David Ensminger probes the conscience of punk by going beyond the lyrics and slogans of the pithy culture war. He paints a broad, nuanced, and well-documented picture of the ongoing activism and outreach inherent in punk. Creating a people’s history of punk’s social, cultural, aesthetic, and political features, the book features original interviews with members of Dead Kennedys, Dead Boys, MDC, Channel 3, Snap-Her, Scream, Minutemen, TSOL, the Avengers, Blowdryers, and many more. Ensminger highlights punk money’s influence on philanthropy and community involvement and paints a contextualized picture of how punk critiqued dominant culture by channeling support and media coverage for a wide array of humanitarian programs for gays and lesbians, the homeless, the disabled, environmental and health research, and other causes.
