Limewire Settles Out Of Court With Four Major Labels For $105 Million
May 21st
The fight is over, as another downloading giant concedes to the RIAA for a nine-figure settlement.
Media downloading platform Limewire has settled out of court with the four major music labels for a reported $105 million, according to RIAA reports. The settlement follows a similar $115 million dollar settlement against Kazaa in 2006.
The damages, including personal liability money from Limewire founder Mark Gorton, is for damages against stolen media from the labels.
RIAA chairman Mitch Bainwol released the following statement: “We are pleased to have reached a large monetary settlement following the court’s finding that both Limewire and its founder Mark Gorton are personally liable for copyright infringement,” Bainwol said. “As the court heard during the last two weeks, Limewire wreaked enormous damage on the music community, helping contribute to thousands of lost jobs and fewer opportunities for aspiring artists.”
Jay-Z Beats Out Beyonce For Money Earned This Year
May 19th
Forbes reports that Jay-Z earned more money than his superstar wife for the first time since they married in 2008.
During the past 12 months, Forbes reports, Jay-Z pulled in $37 million–$2 million more than wife Beyonce Knowles. This is the first time Jay has earned more than his wife since they married back in 2008.
While Jay’s 40/40 Club, his stake in the New Jersey Nets, and his bestselling book Decoded all contributed to his earnings this past year, it’s his 10-year, $150 million deal with Live Nation that has been the most lucrative. Beyonce’s deals with Nintendo, L’Oreal, as well her own clothing line House of Dereon, are huge factors in her $35 million earnings in the previous 12 months.
Both artists earned substantially less than they did last year ($63 million and $87 million respectively) due to the fact that both did a smaller amount of touring this year. The pair did not release any albums since the last Forbes cycle, but are expected to later on in the year.
Interestingly enough, neither made as much as Justin Bieber, who raked in $53 million this year.

Ricky Martin comes out the closet #notshocked
Mar 30th
Ricky Martin finally jumped out the closet he posted the following message on his official website
“I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.”
Martin says the birth of his twin sons led to his decision to come out, Ricky’s kids were born in August 2008.
This is all i have to say, i knew he was gay in 1999, hell was gay during Menudo, he just didn’t have anyone to be gay with.
he tried way to hard to dodge the question over the years, who cares? gay or straight do you.
Ricky’s full confession:
A few months ago I decided to write my memoirs, a project I knew was going to bring me closer to an amazing turning point in my life. From the moment I wrote the first phrase I was sure the book was the tool that was going to help me free myself from things I was carrying within me for a long time. Things that were too heavy for me to keep inside. Writing this account of my life, I got very close to my truth. And this is something worth celebrating.
For many years, there has been only one place where I am in touch with my emotions fearlessly and that’s the stage. Being on stage fills my soul in many ways, almost completely. It’s my vice. The music, the lights and the roar of the audience are elements that make me feel capable of anything. This rush of adrenaline is incredibly addictive. I don’t ever want to stop feeling these emotions. But it is serenity that brings me to where I’m at right now. An amazing emotional place of comprehension, reflection and enlightenment. At this moment I’m feeling the same freedom I usually feel only on stage, without a doubt, I need to share.
Many people told me: “Ricky it’s not important”, “it’s not worth it”, “all the years you’ve worked and everything you’ve built will collapse”, “many people in the world are not ready to accept your truth, your reality, your nature”. Because all this advice came from people who I love dearly, I decided to move on with my life not sharing with the world my entire truth. Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions.
If someone asked me today, “Ricky, what are you afraid of?” I would answer “the blood that runs through the streets of countries at war…child slavery, terrorism…the cynicism of some people in positions of power, the misinterpretation of faith.” But fear of my truth? Not at all! On the contrary, It fills me with strength and courage. This is just what I need especially now that I am the father of two beautiful boys that are so full of light and who with their outlook teach me new things every day. To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where born with. Enough is enough. This has to change. This was not supposed to happen 5 or 10 years ago, it is supposed to happen now. Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment.
These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn’t even know existed.
What will happen from now on? It doesn’t matter. I can only focus on what’s happening to me in this moment. The word “happiness” takes on a new meaning for me as of today. It has been a very intense process. Every word that I write in this letter is born out of love, acceptance, detachment and real contentment. Writing this is a solid step towards my inner peace and vital part of my evolution.
I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.
