Ronald S. Beinstock, an attorney for progressive metal giants DREAM THEATER, has contacted BLABBERMOUTH.NET to make it clear that there is currently "no pending litigation" between the current members of DREAM THEATER and the band's former drummer, Mike Portnoy.
Courthouse News Service reported on April 28 that Portnoy filed a document listing his former bandmates as defendants in which he claimed that they "wrongfully excluded" him from the group and were "wrongfully using the name of the band in connection with [their] recording of an album without the participation or consent of [Portnoy]." In addition, the document alleged that the defendants — John Petrucci (guitar), John Myung (bass), Jordan Rudess (keyboards), James LaBrie (vocals), along with associated companies Ytse Jam, Inc. and Infinity Tours, Inc. — were "wrongfully using the name of the band in connection with the promotion of live performances by the individual defendants, without the participation or consent of [Portnoy]."
In a letter to BLABBERMOUTH.NET dated earlier today (Tuesday, September 20) Bienstock wrote, "On or around April 27, 2011, Mr. Portnoy filed a 'Notice With Summons.' This document is not a formal complaint. Further, the document was never served on any of the named defendants, rendering it moot. There is no pending litigation between DREAM THEATER and Mr. Portnoy."
אז כנראה שזה אכן כך. הוא הגיש את ה- summons אבל לא המציא אותו לנתבעים. עכשיו זה יושב שם כמו מין חרב על הצוואר.
הוא באמת היה יכול להיות יותר אגרסיבי אז אולי המתקפה היתה מעט מוקדמת מדי.
ד"א אני לא מומחה ענקי בסדר דין אזרחי של מדינת NY אבל לדעתי בשלב כלשהו זה עלול להימחק מחוסר מעש אם הוא לא ימציא את זה לחברים.
בקיצור - הדבר היחיד זה שעכשיו הכתובות של כולם הפכו להיות public knowledge. מסכנים.
