MY DISPUTE CLAIM, STILL UNANSWERED BY ORCHARD MUSIC WHICH HAS TODAY INSTITUTED  AN ADDITIONAL CLAIM ON THE SAME VIDEO ON ANOTHER OF MY CHANNELS!

"This video uses the copyrighted material at issue, but with the appropriate authorization from the copyright owner.
The video features music performed by The Chicago Sinfonietta, which Orchestra granted me license to use such material in 2007 and this video was produced in June 2010. This is the second time this month that Orchard or any other organization has attempted to assume ownership of music that is either in the public domain and/or license has been granted by the Chicago Sinfonietta, founded and conducted by my good friend, Paul Freeman whom I have known since the 90's. I am becoming very suspicious of this "claiming process" The subject of the video, Jewel Lafontant Rogers was known as Jewel Lafontant when she became my first marketing client, outside of family businesses, in 1969. Her son, John Rogers, is head of Ariel Capital Management and a friend of an additional client, President Barack Hussein Obama, whom I have known since 1987, when he arrived in Chicago and contacted the Harold Washington administration of which I had been a part since its inception, in 1982, as I was a media producer, and Security Consultant. This is going to get ugly!"

Let's ALL get Ugly!

ORCHARD IS, ALLEGEDLY, A CRIMINALLY LITIGIOUS ORGANIZATION ACCORDING TO THEIR WIKI:


The Orchard is a New York City based digital distribution and entertainment services company that works with independent artists and labels, and content providers. The company was started in 1997 by Richard Gottehrer and Scott Cohen.

It focuses on distribution and marketing of digitized music, video, and new media to online music retailers, advertising firms, and music and film agencies, and caters to numerous well-known independent artists and labels such as Daptone Records Barsuk, Nuclear Blast, and Daptone. The company has offices in New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, London, Barcelona, Berlin, and various other countries around summing to representation in 25 regions around the world.

The Orchard bought TVT Records in a bidding war over the bankrupt label.[1] Most recently, the company has announced a distribution partnership with Amie Street and Wynton Marsalis. [2]

On October 14, 2009, the Orchard filed a lawsuit[3] against online music and social networking giant imeem, claiming that the company hosted some of the label's recently-acquired TVT Records titles without the label's permission. Imeem faced up to $150,000 in fines for each infraction. Imeem had been struggling under its ad-supported model, so though the company felt that it had a case, it could neither afford to fight the case nor to pay any resulting fines should it lose. Thus, as one imeem executive stated, the Orchard case was "definitely the final nail" [4] in the demise of imeem, which was bought out by and absorbed into MySpace Music on December 8, 2009.
