I’m also unclear why I would’ve had to get off the couch to blog this.

Either you get it or you don’t. That’s 50/50

I saw a kookaburra eat a mouse whole at the zoo not long ago and now I think they’re awesome. My daughter was horrified. Silly toddler.

Are these the guys that sit in the old gum tree and king it up?

I was expecting an exhaustive list of our fauna Luke! ;)

Downer: Uppers Delayed Due to Lack of Pre-Orders.

I don’t think she’s obligated to work with, or be around Dr. Luke—and I don’t think she alleged that she’s in imminent physical danger here. I doubt she’s alleging that she suspects he’s going to rape her again.

But nobody is forcing Kesha to work with Dr. Luke. She has every right to have no contact with him. All the court is saying is that she doesn’t have the right to break the terms of her agreement by working for someone else or independently. The court does not award specific performance on employment contracts. That’s…

Or maybe Jezebel should ask one of their lawyer commentators for some assistance before drafting posts about legal issues. I’ve been volunteering for years. Just like when Gawker posted that awful article lambasting the aunt who sued her nephew for a broken arm without any context for why or how that could happen…

Word. PLUS - that comment that she should be pursuing criminal charges instead?

Bingo! That’s exactly what’s happening. Luke is the plaintiff here, he instituted the action because Kesha signed with another management company in breach of her agreement with Luke, but now she’s also counter suing under her own theory of Luke’s breach as well as sexual harassment and a bunch of gender…

Came here to say much the same. Twitter and every blog out there is going crazy with #FreeKesha and trying to frame their argument under the guise of the Judge making a bad decision or favoring Corporations over People, etc, etc.

Thanks for voicing this. You can be pro-Kesha to the Nth degree (as I am), but people have to recognize this isn’t what the civil suit is about. Until he is convicted, there’s no legal reason to void her contract. It’s awful, but the correct application of the law.

Even simply the way they framed the whole thing is inflammatory—for instance, Luke is the plaintiff in this action, Kesha the defendant, and Sony wasn’t even a party to the litigation until Kesha counterclaimed essentially alleging that Sony contributed to Luke’s alleged non-performance and Kesha’s ongoing abuse by…

I’ve been fuming over the reporting of this case here as well, mainly for the uninformed bashing of the Court and Judge. It’s really frustrating. There are over 400 docket entries in this action—it’s a pretty complicated litigation yet these authors and the comentatriat continue to lambaste the court without having…

Jez really needs some legal advisors. The generalizations and misinterpretations for the sake of drama/outrage generation tend to undermine their arguments. I mean, the court isn’t exactly dry-washing its hands with evil glee while they kick back a few with Dr. Luke and Sony’s legal team and drown kittens in a sack.

It’s about the interpretation and application of existing law. If you don’t like it, talk to your state representatives. But let’s stop with the bashing of the Judge and Court. Her ruling was not wrong.

Yep! I was about to say the same thing, being denied a preliminary injunction on the grounds that she wasn’t able to prove irreparable harm just means that money damages are sufficient to compensate her for any wrong doing that is eventually proven at trial. PIs are difficult to get, even more so when the party is…

This this this. Posted about this in the comments of another article. There is been no trial, there has been no verdict. People need to stop using those words.
