FROM THE ARROGANT BLOGGER DEPT:
Popular celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is boycotting SonyBMG acts because the label is suing him over the use of song streams on his site. Sony BMG's Zomba and Jive labels, are suing Hilton for streaming several songs that turned out to be by Britney Spears.
"...These are some of our favorite musicians. It really, truly pains us not to talk about them. But, it is something we HAVE to do!
Why????
Because Zomba, which is owned by Sony BMG, is suing us and we had a lightbulb go off recently: we can't support any artist signed to Sony BMG.
Why should we help the company suing us make money???? Especially when their lawsuit is personal!
The only thing personal about this is the conversation Perez should be having with his shrink. Does Hilton really think that any of these acts are going to sell less music because he doesn't write about them? And when Whitney Houston finally gives birth to Justin Timberlake's love child; how long will his little SonyBMG news blackout last?
