Wow, ‘the interview’ is in another problem, but this one personal
because I doubt that the president of America Barack Obama or the leader
of North Korea Kim Jong-un, will be intervening in this second battle
of Sony Pictures. So much issue with this movie “the interview though.
Someone is suing Sony Pictures for piracy for playing her music in their
movie scandalous movie, ‘The interview’ without permission, and gets
this, she is a Korean. Her name is Yoon Mi Rae;
- yoon mi rae
She
sues Sony Pictures, after not receiving a penny from the movie giant
for using her song in the hit movie ‘the interview without com
compensating her. Sony is in some deep shit at the moment I tell you,
after pulling out the movie from showing in theaters on Christmas day
because North Korea claims it is an act of terror and because the
guardians of peace (the hackers) claimed to cause problems in theaters
or publish Sony Picture’s documents taken during the hack. Facing
problems with Korea on the one hand, on the other hand, predictably the
movie was quickly gobbled up by pirates, with the latest figures
suggesting that in just two days the movie has been downloaded 1.5
million times. This is too much advert for just one movie, that is if
are forms publicity. That is what you get for not compensating
professional art work, you get sued by Koreans who have probably been
encouraged by the North government if they have a government at all. I
mean who knows, those people (North Koreans) are so tricky and so
secretive like my cat ‘wiggles’, who is scared of rats; I really wonder
why my sister gave me that crazy cat though. According to the
http://torrentfreak.com (TF), Yoon Mi-rae (real name Natasha Shanta
Reid) is a US-born hip hop and R&B singer who currently releases
music on the Feel Ghood Music label. In January 2013 as part of MFBTY
(My Fans Better Than Yours), the 33-year-old hit the number 1 spot in
the Korean Music Charts and in September reached the same heights on
Billboard’s Kpop Hot 100 list with her song ‘Touch Love’. I feel with
those hits, she probably has enough money to take Sony to court. So I
guess now, Sony will now have a big and strong ass lawsuit on them after
being beaten hard like eggs by the gradients of peace.
This
picture is kind of ironical right? I mean, wearing the headphones of
the same company you are suing doesn't really cream 'i hate what you
did'. Well in her defense, they Sony makes one of the best headphones
for quality sounds. That picture almost looks like an advert to me
thought, just saying.
This lawsuit is hardly going to be an issue. I
am sure the lawyers of Sony pictures are putting on their law suites
right now in preparation for the battle. I know they have the strongest
legal team behind them, If they don’t have one, they can just buy one
why wont they, they are like one of the biggest movie industries in the
business. I am sure the interview brought in tons of money to the
industry. On the bright side, which is clearly one-sided, Yoon Mi-rae
should not only be able to secure a piece of that money but also raise
her profile in a way that would not have been possible had Sony paid her
in the first instance. I think Sony Pictures can argue that money
aside, Yoon Mi-rae can benefit from “The Interview” in that having her
name on the film would significantly raised her profile, particularly
internationally. But I don’t know how these law systems work, so yeah.
So it’s a win-lose or win-win situation here, but either way yoon Mi-rae
still gets the trophy because if she wins or loses, she is already in
the media hence significantly raising her profile. This could be the
best way to advertise, through scandals and lawsuits. Because I am
definitely going to check out who Natasha Shanta Reid AKA Yoon Mi Rae is
and even check out some of her songs especially those that made the
Korean Billboard top 100. Sony kind of brought this problem on their
company you know, because according to Reid’s label Feel Ghood, Sony
initially negotiated with Yoon Mi Rae to use one of her songs, called
“Pay Day,” in its film “The Interview.” But the two sides couldn’t reach
an agreement. And yet, Sony used the music anyway.
