Casper-Smart

Casper Smart's attorney recently threatened to sue TheDirty.com for deformation after 2 transsexuals posted comments on the website claiming they hooked up with Casper.

Now, TMZ reports that TheDirty’s lawyer, David Gingras has responded in a very nasty letter claiming that the blog is not responsible for information received from the transsexual women.

Read the docs here.  FYI its PG 18. Don't forget to check out the artwork next to the lawyer's John Hancock, lol.

#KanyeWest Sued For $800K Over Illegal Sampling

Time to face the music?

On May 28, Robert Poindexter, a member of the ‘70s soul group The Persuaders, filed a federal lawsuit in New York claiming Kanye West illegally sampled the band’s 1972 tune “Trying Girls Out, in his 2006 song “Girls Girls Girls Remix.”

Poindexter states in the New York court documents that:

“Kanye West has never acquired authorization from me or the copyright owners of the composition,” Poindexter states in New York court documents. West “willfully infringed the composition copyright for private and financial gain by selling and distributing an untold amount of tangible and digital copies.”

Poindexter further claims he previously attempted to sue West, but the case was tossed in January 2014 because West refused to respond and that he suffered millions in financial losses due to West’s refusal to credit him for his work.

Poindexter is seeking $800K in punitive damages.
