I didn’t imagine bullet holes,
Music Business Mayhem Reaches Courts
I didn’t imagine bullet holes, family members assaulted, friend and house shot up, etc…
With all that was mentioned, courts ignored actual events of violence, denied that stress can attribute to and cause physical ailments.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A GAME TO YOU?
THE FIX WAS IN…
This was the first Lawsuit filings submitted to courts
on June 24, 1996; The Fix Was Definitely In…The Courts completely ignored everything that was provided
in this initial case filed combined with Amended Complaint filed on May 20, 1996 below!
Shuffle Masters and Musical Chairs
This Post is dedicated To Rph. Sandra for judging me for privately venting even though I have every right to be angry.
The only game being played is
MUSIC: Shuffle Masters and Musical Chairs
Let’s explain how the music industry plays Musical Chairs. I had to see who was running the label back
when I was under contract. I had to know who profited from this mess.
Of course, these individuals listed below were definitely involved and/or aware of publishing contracts, song submissions, ‘gutted’ musical works and actions which led to multiple Copyright Infringements:
Richard Blackstone Dave Renzer Paul Katz
These were some of the same people who shortly after profiting, began transferring me back and forth over the phone (keeping me on speakerphone) rejoicing, mocking and
laughing about Zomba being Number 1.
Moving On Up The Line
The owner’s of the company were –
Clive Ian Calder
After an unspecified “ethical disagreement,” Calder
bought
Simon’s stake in Zomba and became the sole owner in 1990.
I was signed to Zomba in 1993 and I think I have an idea of
what was meant by ‘ethical disagreement.
In the late
nineties, Jive expanded its success to include teen pop
phenomenons such as Backstreet Boys, ‘N Sync and Britney
Spears, all of which topped the
charts. In 2002 he sold Zomba for
US$2.74 billion to the
German-based media group Bertelsmann.
Though
he was offered a position with BMG, he instead chose to
stay on temporarily as
an advisor during the integration period,
but left the business in 2003. The Jive Records brand
was
discontinued in October 2011, with their artists being moved
to RCA Records.
AND
Ralph Simon
Simon co-founded the independent Zomba Group of music
companies (now a
subsidiary of Sony Music
Entertainment)
with Clive Calder in the 1970s. In the mid-90s, he was
Executive Vice President of Capitol
Records and Blue Note
Records in Hollywood and started EMI Music’s global New
Media division.
On
May 20, 1996, I filed a lawsuit against BMI,
Zomba and Jive because of their
lack of
response to my request as to how BMG, MCA,
EMI, WEA, Polygram and Jive
have released
songs which blatantly infringe upon my
copyrights. I submitted these
lyrics and
melodies to Zomba.
Although people are moved like musical chairs,
it is easy to see how moving employees back
and forth from BMG, MCA, EMI, WEA, Polygram
and Jive may have gained access to songs
which blatantly infringe upon my copyrights. I
sent these lyrics to Zomba; which they deny receiving.
Conveniently their denials were received in
envelopes marked ‘Comics’.
Letter stamp-dated 10-23-1995, envelope postmarked 10-24-1995
Letter stamp-dated 11-27-1995, envelope postmarked 11-28-1995
This Letter Of Explanation was also Provided to the Courts
Note: Clearly explained
Each document listed as Exhibits
Both; The Revised
Complaint and the Letter of explanation
‘set forth in numbered, short, plain
statements that clearly
state my argument, basis for claim, legal theories,
supporting
documents listed as exhibits, provided jurisdiction and
demand for
judgment as required by Fed. Rules on Civil rules
of law. I presented all of these documents along with
copyrights to the
courts with copyrights.

Both; The Revised
Complaint and the Letter of explanation ‘set forth in numbered, short, plain

Follow the next Blog to see the other 14 pages of the entire Lawsuit; which includes explanation of other exhibits.
The Fix Was In…
Courts denied
request to assign counsel, 1st Request -June 24, 1996.
Note: U.S.
District court seal, dated Jun 24, 1996 at 10:45 am…AND
Note: On June
24, 1996, I provided court with 2nd/Revised Complaint (LISTED ABOVE) that was ‘set forth in
short, plain statements’ as required by law WITHIN THE ALLOTTED TIME -per courts order listed below.
Courts had already signed an order of dismissal ready and dated July 22, 1996 – (a month prior to Defendants Answer to Complaint dated August 7, 1996).
Court ignored my request in accordance
Federal Rules of Civil procedure, Rule 16 (a)(b)(c); Also under U.S.C., Title
15 28,19,49; Under 28 U.S.C, 1915(d) – Plaintiff request counsel be
assigned…preventing protraction due to lack of management.
Note: Case dismissed
prior to Zomba Response dated August 7, 1996
On July 22, 1996,
Courts dismissed my case I never had an opportunity to go before the judge and
be heard. I never had my day in court.
My revised complaint
complied completely with Fed. Rules of civil procedure but the courts ignored..
My amended complaint was clear and concise.
This is what I refer
to as the jedi-mind-trick…just wave your hands and say the words and it never
happened. I didn’t imagine bullet holes, family assaulted, friend shot up, etc..
With all that was mentioned, courts
ignored actual events of violence, denied that stress can attribute to and cause physical
ailments.
Note: Case was dismissed July 22, 1996 but this was prior to Zomba Response dated August 7, 1996 – see Defendants response below. FIXED!
Does this sound like a Game to you?
I assure you that this is no game.
Here I am twenty plus years later…still fighting for scraps and being stripped of everything from housing to basic necessities for decades.
This was my Objection to Order of Dismissal
Note: This was 2nd copy of Request for counsel to be
assigned–submitted July 29, 1996 Judge Bernard A. Friedman-Courts dismissed my
case before Zomba could respond…
When you sign a publishing contract, it should be ‘a given’ and fully
understood that they would want to pursue royalties. Conveniently, they can use
this contract to basically take your work or even allow your works to be used
without pursuing your interest.
The kicker is, in the beginning they exaggerate their interest in
offering you an opportunity for recording artist deal while working you for
materials along with little up-front compensation but stated in their defense
that ‘I refused to pursue claims’. Pursue claims…with what?
I never had the chance to go before the Judge. He completely
disregarded my copyrights and ignored my request for counsel.
Ultimately, in spite of having copyrights being
secured by myself, copies of materials, copies of receipts for overnight
mailings, and other correspondences submitted to Zomba representatives; Zomba
stated in response regarding songs that were in question that it was unclear.
However; prior to filing suit against them I received a letter stating that
they were investigating my claims. In fact, Zomba denied receiving or having
any works in spite of my return receipts.
To Be Continued…
ITS NOT OKAY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF6EBgoxDEg
I tried to be civil but they told me to just die,
I tried to appeal to their human side
but they have none,
I tried the court’s but they got to them,
They used their position of power
and minions for bad,
They used friends and family to break your heart wearing down your resistance,
They tried to pressure you to take your own life
but I refused,
I wrote a book about it which includes proof of deliberate violations but they threatened.
There is no other way but to put it out there EVERYWHERE.
They made the choice to engage in stealing lives but they don’t like the spotlight on them and their inhumane activities but they can publicly exploit ANYONE and then cause unimaginable hardships on individuals while portraying victims as sinister or perpetrators of heinous acts.

Got to Love It -Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech!
These people never asked permission and were never coerced but willingly assisted in the activity to defraud!
I submitted list of songs, copyright copies, and contracts request for assistance; however, I received my materials back from all the attorneys, groups, and agency, along with letters expressing no interest in representing me.
On May 20, 1996, I filed a lawsuit against BMI, Zomba and Jive because of their lack of response to my request as
to how BMG, MCA, EMI, WEA, Polygram and Jive have released songs which blatantly infringe upon my copyrights. I sent these lyrics to Zomba.
Meet some of the people who directly took part in defrauding, manipulating and who are responsible for contributing & helping to violate my rights!
Richard Blackstone
(I can tell you from direct personal experience what his skill set was in the late 90’s – hiding & snaking).
“Richard brings many years of experience in music publishing to BMG,” Masuch said. “Knowing him and his impressive skill set for more than 15 years already…(I can tell you from direct personal experience what his skill set was in the late 90’s – hiding & snaking).
Prior to joining WMG, Blackstone was President of Zomba Music Publishing. Originally a transactional attorney, Blackstone joined Zomba in 1989 as Director of Business Affairs. Recognizing his talents in both business and the arts, he was later promoted to the dual role of Head of Creative and Head of Business Affairs, a position that included oversight of Zomba’s Country Music division located in Nashville. Having spent most of his career at Zomba, Blackstone helped grow the business from a handful of staff to what would become the largest independent music group of it’s time. He ran one of the two primary businesses that comprised those assets, which eventually sold to BMG in 2002. Once BMG acquired Zomba Publishing, Blackstone was made President and was given the additional responsibility of overseeing Brentwood Benson Music Publishing, the leading contemporary Christian music publisher.
(During the 20+ years of torture from the music industry & personnel)
Blackstone has been a highly respected executive in the entertainment industry for nearly 20 years.
In 2005 Blackstone was appointed to the position of Chairman and CEO of Warner/Chappell Music becoming responsible for all aspects of Warner Music Group’s worldwide music-publishing division operating in over 35 countries.
On November 11, 1994, due to the inability to contact Richard Blackstone – Zomba, rep over the phone regarding remaining balance for contract; my husband (at that time) and I had decided that we would go to New York to speak with Blackstone – Zomba, rep in person. Upon our arrival, we did not receive the welcome we were expecting and although we received check, Blackstone – Zomba, rep was unavailable for both days to speak with us.
Once we returned to Michigan, we still received phone calls and correspondents that suggested that they were still interested in working with me and arranged for me to interact and work with their producers and other writers.
Blackstone sent this list of songs that was included as a part of my contract but they deny any knowledge of later:
Their defense was that ‘they can choose which songs/works or even if they pursue claims of copyrights infringements’ (Especially, when it’s them – the company that was sent each song lyrics and melodies who are/were directly connected to all labels accused of copyright infringements).
They wanted to settle for over 40+ songs for $1,000.00)!
NO I DID NOT SIGN THAT MESS!
This was a joke and I was completely insulted and NO, I didn’t sign that mess…I have been fighting EVERYONE SINCE!
Note: Paul Katz was sent a copy of letter regarding advance. I never knew he was affiliated with Zomba, prior to Paul Katz’s name was listed on check as signer.
Blackstone and Dave Renzer were right there playing the games directly so in spite of what you read. I personally experience their deceipt and involvement with the copyright infringements throughout those years. Everyone I spoke with was having a good time playing with my lyrics. Oh they loved them all while I was sending them and then when I started to get back to the money it was attack, deny and the games.
The private investment firm brings in the former CEO of Universal Music Publishing Group to lead its new music publishing project…
Universal Music Publishing Group Chairman and CEO David Renzer announced today (4/26) his plans to exit the company. He has been with the publisher 15 years, starting in 1996 with MCA Music Publishing. Renzer was promoted to his current post in 2004.
Haim Saban, the eponymous firm’s CEO and founder, said in a statement. “And we have great confidence that David, with his vast experience, will help us create an exciting new music publishing company together.” (He can definitely help with the exploitation part of the industry).
Renzer spent 15 years as chairman and CEO of Universal Music Publishing Group, where he controlled the operations in 50 of the company’s offices around the world. He oversaw more than 100 music publishing acquisitions, including Polygram, Rondor, Zomba and one of the industry’s major moves, BMG Music Publishing.
He also supervised Universal’s signing of major artists such as Paul Simon, 50 Cent, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber and the catalogs of Jimi Hendrix.
Renzer began his career at Zomba Music Publishing, where he remained for a decade.
By 1990, Zomba was worth $225 million with over fifty companies. Contrary to most other record businesses at the time, Zomba spared no time with frills. “The Jive offices were crummy, cardboard desks. They just really did everything on the cheap”, says attorney Gary Stiffelman. The company began to attract more major label attention when EMI attempted to buy the company, but was ultimately turned down.[7][8] This period also saw Ralph Simon leaving Zomba at the start of the decade. Through an unspecified “ethical disagreement”, Calder and Simon ended their relationship of over two decades.[7] Calder bought out Simon’s half of the company and subsequently gained full control of the company.[1] In late 1991, BMG furthered its relationship with Zomba buy purchasing a 25% stake in their music publishing business, allowing them to sub-publish Zomba compositions in foreign markets.[1] BMG continued with a 20% purchase of Zomba’s records division in 1996.[16]
This was a rough time for me. I could feel the treachery. I found out later what happened to the songs. They were all over the radio.
Note: Paul Katz was sent a copy of letter regarding advance. I never knew he was affiliated with Zomba, prior to Paul Katz’s name was listed on check as signer.
Blackstone and Dave Renzer were right there playing the games directly so in spite of what you read.

c. Letter sent to Zomba/Jive regarding Betrayal
February 23, 1995 Letter I sent to Zomba regarding blatant betrayal:
First, I addressed her. After she expressed satisfaction with works; suddenly, all the positive words of encouragement and compliments turned to insults. It was smash and grab…
This is prior to all my so-called unmarketable song lyrics and melodies were all over the radio…

Music Business: It’s a dirty Game – Page 152
Almost every song that I had written was passed along for some type of payback or vendetta. For a songwriter to hear their melodies is like recognizing your child cries or your name being called repeated. It reminded me of the story that I had heard about a famous writing team. It was told that one of their girlfriends was actually writing the lyrics but was never given credit or monies. I was told that it wasn’t unheard of to emotionally abuse, reject and cause severe duress to influence suicidal actions. I was told that she killed herself. One can never imagine that pain of being used and discarded; then to top it off tortured and mocked.
If it weren’t for the viciousness of the people, it would be easy for me to believe that the stories told were all lies to distract or influence response that would cause a deadly reaction. I was thrown to the wolves and it was ‘okay’. It was nothing; I was nothing – a Ghost.
In addition, the music wasn’t the only thing used. I couldn’t watch a television program without the ridiculous similarities to my current household topics and concerns. I know I am super sensitive right now so maybe I am tripping (at least that’s what I told myself. There is no chance of this many similarities and topics over this period of time.
It shook me, I cannot lie. I was broken inside.
I trained my mind to keep moving, changing my thinking pattern, never focusing on anything for too long. I stopped listening to the radio for a long time. I changed my whole life in order to cope because I have no intention of giving them the satisfaction of my complete self-destruction.

I guess that since I am not a prominent attorney or have rich rich friends my public harassment and unwarranted abuse is acceptable.

Note: I filed a lawsuit which provided these companies names to the courts and other entertainment attorney‟s for using my works; which, included lyrics and melodies.
All the while they were one in the same, working together. These songs were played on the radio by major artist signed to BMG, EMI; throughout the years starting after Zomba music publishing contract.
Their defense was that ‘they can choose which songs/works or even if they pursue claims of copyrights infringements’ (Especially, when it’s them – the company that was sent each song lyrics and melodies who are/were directly connected to all labels accused of copyright infringements).

This was a rough time for me. I could feel the treachery. I found out later what happened to the songs. They were all over the radio.
Building on the successes of the Jive label, Zomba began expanding its reach by purchasing and creating new labels, and by creating new divisions that helped expose more people to Zomba artists and services.

I realize that I am not the only one who is asking for assistance with obtaining some kind of Justice; however, I have been in Civil Rights/Human Rights Line for over (20) twenty years. We are not going to have another Saartjie Sara Baartman situation without a good fight! I have had my whole entire life taken from me and even with proof – my Rights were/are still being ignored for decades.
Can you contact your Representatives (people in position of making a difference) for me (since I seem to be getting ignored)?
Tell them that since they like FREE that I have a FREE copy for them.

Someone has forgotten that I have been violated for way too long and I refuse to accept that people in positions can violate my rights as a citizen of the United States.
It may have begun in Michigan but Nevada has certainly made sure this slavery has continued.
I am going to need legal representation since my Civil Rights Violations Have No Statutes of Limitations.
I have ALL my documentation which clearly demonstrates that my accusations are true.
I hate to do this but I’m gonna need to get Presidential on y’all.
Call them too! Tell them they are going to need a copy of Music Business: It’s a Dirty Game! and INVISIBLE: Living in America 2013, too.
I want to share in the American Dream but my humanity is not recognized and neither are my cries for help from a twisted system that allows blatant Civil Rights violations to continue!

Tiwanda ‘Ne Ne’ Lovelace was like many other unknown artists who were used and then discarded by the music industry. She has survived countless attacks on her character, and has lived to tell the tale as a true survivor.
Facing many struggles as an outcast, a black woman, a wife, a mother, and as a writer and lyricist, she has written many songs to which she never received credit. She was the co-writer of the song, “What Can I Say to You (to Justify My Love)” for the artist Hi-Fives, for which credit was given to secure contract.
Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Lovelace attended Wayne County Community College and studied psychology and paralegal studies. She also attended the Community College of Southern Nevada for psychology and paralegal studies. Currently, she lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Lovelace was contracted with Zomba, a major music publishing company for Jive Records, which is now BMG-Zomba publishing company. It was then placed within Universal Music Publishing Group, becoming the world’s largest music publishing business.
Instead of administering her publishing by securing copyrights and ensuring that her works were protected, the major publishing company neglected all their contractual obligations. However, what they didn’t count on was that she had secured copyrights and maintained all related documentation.
Music Business: It’s a Dirty Game, this book written by Lovelace, exposes corruption in the music industry. She proves it using supporting documents, copyrights, public records, court documents, journal entries, and contracts. Many have found Lovelace’s book to be an interesting and thought-driven read.
Having been in the music industry since 1991, our company has more than 21 years of experience. She is now determined to help others before they sign a contract with a major company. It is her goal to ensure that every aspiring artist is fully equipped before they sign.
Lovelace is not anti-music; in fact, she loves music. She also loves living in America, but she feels that it is not okay to allow those with money and power to blatantly infringe on our rights. She loves helping others and wants to ensure that no one goes through what she did.
Now Founder of Seven West Productions, Lovelace offer publishing set-up and preparation services at a low cost for new writers and authors seeking to publish eBooks, set-up P.O.D. for printed copies! You maintain full ownership of your work! Unlike other companies, we provide a list of publishing outlets for you to choose from (which includes Seven West Productions).

TIWANDA ON TILT! I AM NOT A SLAVE!
This Post is dedicated for Molly who sarcastically laughed and said, Do your best!!!
TIWANDA ON TILT!
I should have some rights other than the right to remain silent!
I am an American citizen and people should not be able to do anything they want to me because they have money and position.
Everyone thinks it’s funny that I am subjected to this nightmare but when they get pulled into it, they don’t think it’s funny when they are put on front street.
