Sony Ends Dr. Luke Partnership as Kesha Battle Continues

Dr. Luke no longer holds an executive position at Sony Music, court documents show and The Hollywood Reporter points out. The company has cut some ties with the superproducer (real name Lukasz Gottwald) as his legal battle with Kesha continues. (Dr. Luke and Kesha have been fighting in New York court since 2014, when the producer sued the singer for defamation and she countersued based on her assertions of rape and other abuse.) A new court filing made by Sony's legal team states that “Lukasz Gottwald is no longer the CEO of Kemosabe Records and does not have authority to act on its behalf.” Kemosabe was the imprint that Dr. Luke founded in 2011 in partnership with Sony.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dr. Luke's page on the Sony Music site has also been removed.

Reports first emerged last year that Sony Music planned to end its relationship with Dr. Luke.

Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Sony Music, Dr. Luke, and Kesha for comment.

      Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?

      NelsonG posted a topic in General News,

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
