Never underestimate the power of the phrase "it's traditional", I guess.Also Geishas are very explicit about the "no sex" policy.

? But this is about a woman that thinks she is owed being eaten out. There was no argument that guys are entitled to being blown. That she wants it only one way is her prerogative. But it also reflects that she's just a shitty person.

Knew her back in her Bach days. Had some personal and professional dealings with her. The woman is evil, ruthless and an all around POS. How her son reconciled with her is a complete mystery. Once when she tried me at my office and was told I was on maternity leave with my second child she called my home and left a…

Debbie's a dreamer!!!

When you're entirely driven by money, opportunities make strange bedfellows. I can say after watching her deposition and hearing her phone calls that there is no love in this woman's heart beyond that for money. EVERY statement by her was about protecting her golden goose.

What drives Debbie?

GET THE MAYOR OF TELEVISION ON THE PHONE!

She gave her ex full custody of their 5 year-old son and then didn't see him or speak to her own child for 10 years? Did I read that correctly?

A realtor in 1984 without a Mercedes? Ouch.

"All-female real estate brokerage founded in the 1970s."

Never make yourself the story is what my high-school journalism teacher said, and I bloviate enough on procurement and other things that it is great to have a subject that is motivated just tell it their way. Thanks for you kind words

Tom Petty takes the right view in my mind: He's stated that if someone 'accidentally' borrows from him (doesn't do so maliciously) he doesn't care. If they take something of his and make it into something new that is their own, then good for them. Yes, if they copy it note-for-note and just put their name on it, then…

You nailed it, buckett. The moron couldn't tell which bass line was which when it was played for him. That probably sunk him right there. The least he could've done before getting on the stand was listen to the damn songs a couple times.

SHHH! We don't need your crazy "facts" here!

That was a cover. Dylan got paid.

First, it's Yankovic, and second, Al's rights are well protected as a satirist. Not to mention he asks permission (which he legally does NOT have to do, he just does it because he's an awesomely nice guy) before releasing any parodies.

As nice as this idea sounds, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting. I believe Congress had a chance to change copyright laws (or at least the duration of a copyright) last year and decided not to.

Thicke was convicted by his own sleezy personality. and while he could have tried to back out of the corner he made by saying Blurred Lines was fundamentally inspired by Gaye, it just made him look sleezier. plus, it's a jury decision. in LA. fucking loonies everywhere, and i'm fairly certain none of them were…

I love how lots of people came here to applaud saying that the two songs don't sound anything like each other. They do — and they proved that in court with ACTUAL musicians explaining music theory to the jury. Perhaps these commenters have forgotten music theory after quitting piano at age 5 but most of my fellow…

The idea that "Blurred Lines" somehow caused the Gaye family any financial hardship is absurd on its face—as if purchasing Thicke's song somehow stopped anyone from checking out "Got to Give It Up" as well or instead. In fact, the opposite occurred—the suit brought so much renewed attention to Gaye's song that its sa…
