Marilyn Manson, former bandmate settle lawsuit
Mon Dec 28, 4:47 pm ET
LOS ANGELES – A contentious lawsuit between Marilyn Manson and former bandmate Stephen Bier has been settled without the multimillion judgment the keyboardist initially sought, court records show.
An agreement calls for attorneys representing former Bier to be paid $380,000. Manson’s insurance company will pay $175,000 while the rest will be paid by Bier’s former business managers, Manson’s attorney Howard King said.
Bier sued the shock rocker for $20 million in 2007, claiming the singer kept money from him and spent it to furnish a lavish lifestyle buying Nazi memorabilia, an engagement ring and other exotic goods.
Manson denied Bier’s claims and said Bier didn’t properly perform his duties as a band member.
Bier, who went by the stage name Madonna Wayne Gacy, was among the original members of Manson’s band when it was known as Marilyn Manson and The Spooky Kids.
The case had been scheduled to go to trial this month after frequent delays and months of fighting between the two sides over depositions, documents and scheduling.
King declared victory, saying Manson will not have to pay any money directly. He said the case should have never been filed.
A dispute over how the $380,000 settlement should be divided has kept the case from being formally dismissed. A law firm that Bier also sued is seeking more than $70,000 from the settlement for legal fees it was awarded after having portions of the case dismissed and the ruling upheld on appeal.
Bier’s attorney, Keith A. Fink, said the settlement also calls for some of his client’s equipment to be returned.
Manson recently finished a European tour.

マンソンの弁護士によると、結果的にポゴ側の主張は認められず、彼が要求していた数億円のお金も支払われないそうです。しかし、和解金の分配をめぐってまだ議論が続きそうです。


NINファンによる最終ライブの自主映像化プロジェクトが、クラウド・コンピューティングを活用した画期的な試みとして注目されています。唯一の問題点といえば、「正当な目的のためにあえてファイル共有ソフトを利用する」ということでしょうか。最初からオフィシャルで出してればこんな面倒はなかったのにねえ。

Nine Inch Nails Fans Create Incredible Live DVD From Footage: Encourage Everyone To Share Widely
You may recall that about a year ago, Trent Reznor jokingly mentioned that 400 gigs of high definition video footage of some shows from Nine Inch Nail’s previous tour had been released online “by a mysterious, shadowy group of subversives.” Not only that, he noted “I’ll bet some enterprising fans could assemble something pretty cool.” Now, of course it was Rezor’s own people who were “leaking” the content, but we’d been hearing all sorts of cool things about what they were doing, and on Christmas Eve they officially released what they had put together called “Another Version Of The Truth: The Gift.” It’s an amazing display of crowdsourced teamwork by a group calling itself “This One Is On Us,” a play on Reznor’s statement when he released “The Slip” as a completely free download, when he said “This one’s on me.”
As they note, it took 12 months, involving a “core team of dozens (with a network of thousands), spanning 3 continents, 4 languages, 5 specialist teams [and] countless sleepless nights.” And what did they come out with? Well, it’s a concert video that’s available in pretty much any format you might want (and they’re still adding more). In fact you’ll soon be able to get it in Blu-ray. But in the meantime, you can get it in standard DVD of dual layer DVD formats. You can get it for the PS3 or as a basic .MOV file. There’s a version catering to those who want to watch on an iPod, and (of course) it’s on YouTube.
And as we’re being told how awful BitTorrent is and how various torrent trackers and search engines need to be shut down, the folks behind this effort released it under a Creative Commons license, and people are being told that they “are encouraged to seed for as long as possible.” As for Reznor himself? He notes that he’s “blown away” and reminded (yet again) that Nine Inch Nails fans “kick ass.”
But Bittorrent can’t be used for any legitimate purpose, right? And musicians can’t possibly embrace what the technology allows? Once again, we’re seeing why those who embrace what technology allows will do just fine moving forward. It’s only those who think that the answer is to bring out the lawyers and try to hold back progress who will find themselves struggling to create business models that work.

NINメンバー達も、このファンの編集した映像を見て「すばらしい」と絶賛しています。JMJは現在、日本国内で例のバンドのサポートツアー中ですが、どうやって落としたのかしら。

Watching #avottgift on the plane on the way back from Japan tonight. Already snuck in a few peeks – it’s deeply impressive.

これね。なんとなく、ミートヘッドの「元NINメンバー捕獲大作戦の巻」アニメを思い出した。なお、ジョシュはツアー後にハワイ行きを予定しているそうです。

Spinより。トレント様が語った「来年の予定:NINとNIN以外の素材」について。リミックスとか例のお蔵入り音源とかニューマンとのコラボとか、色々ありそうですね。いつか言っていたみたいに、嫁ともコラボするのかな?勤勉なので「何もしてないと苦痛」とも言っていましたね。そんな事言わずに、たまにはゆっくり骨休めしてください。

インタビューによると、Rammsteinの次のPVは”Haifisch”になるそうです。今回は、あまり過激なものにならないようです。ティルが次第にフリークス・キャラ化しているのが気になりますが・・・。
http://www.regenmag.com/Interviews-307-Rammstein.html

Are there future plans to make other videos from the album, or will you be too busy with the tour in the coming months to work on that?
Landers: There are two more videos already in the works. ‘Ich Tuh Dir Weh’ was shot last week by the band, and it’s a straight performance video that we shot on our new stage. The other video will be for ‘Haifisch,’ and it’s going to be a classic Rammstein video with a story behind it, but I’d rather not give any more details and let you be surprised by it. The band will also be touring Europe soon, and in fall of 2010, we hope to be in North America.
