Kesha Sobs After Devastating Court Ruling, Stars Tweet Support

Kesha broke down in tears after the courts denied her request to be released from her contract with Sony and Dr. Luke, the music producer who she alleges raped her and emotionally abused her for 10 years. Kesha filed a suit against Dr. Luke , whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, in October 2014, claiming he drugged and raped her when she was 18 and continued to physically and emotionally abuse her.  Dr. Luke denied the charges, claiming Kesha was trying to extort him and filed a countersuit . “You’re asking the court to decimate a contract that was heavily negotiated and typical for the industry,” said Justice Shirley Kornreich, who presided over the case. “I don’t understand why I have to take the extraordinary measure of granting an injunction.” Unfortunately, no mention was made of the extraordinary circumstance of the artist being abused by the producer. The ruling means Kesha is obligated by law to record six more albums with the label, although Dr. Luke did agree to allow the singer to record without his involvement. Nevertheless, it is understandable that Kesha would want to extricate herself completely from her alleged abuser and block him from any profits she generated with her music. The court decision prompted outrage from Kesha supporters and the hashtag #FreeKesha began trending. A number of fellow recording artists tweeted their support for the Tik Tok singer as well.

Court Ruling: Botswana Bushmen Denied Access to Water

Photo via Wikipedia It’s an old battle, and a cruel one. The Botswana government wants the Bushmen of the Kalahari off of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, one of the driest areas of the world but also one the bushmen have called home for thousands of years. Labeling them essentially poachers and squatters, the government uses water as a tool to remove the indigenous people. At first it was by removing them from land they didn’t have legal right to, but after winning rights to their ancestral land, the Botswana government switched tactics. In 2002, officials capped a we… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Pizza shop must pay for obese worker’s surgery

An Indiana court has ruled that a pizza shop must pay for a 340-pound employee's weight-loss surgery to ensure the success of another operation for a back injury he suffered at work — raising concern among businesses bracing for more such claims. The Indiana Court of Appeals decision, coupled with a recent Oregon court ruling, could make employers think twice before hiring workers with health conditions that might cost their companies thousands of dollars down the road. added by: ajrmy 1 response
