Interesting although whether CBS committed tortious acts was not the subject of the decision which only talked about the removability of the case from state to federal court, a concept which may just be a feature of common law.
Robert Gordon has written a well received book about Stax which I’ve ordered. Al Bell blames the demise all on CBS but I’m not sure that’s a completely balanced view. Some things I’ve seen suggest that was just part of the problem.
Screwed over by big corporations although the first time Stewart should have read the contract or had a lawyer do so, which he obviously didn’t have.
However, it’s a great documentary, very well done.
Just finished this incredible book about a French writer who tries to find out about a postcard that her mother receives that lists the names of her relatives who died in the Holocaust.
I was planning on ordering this but I see that I have about half the albums on cd and since Bobby Hutcherson isn’t someone I play a lot, I’m going to pass, for now anyway.
It’s rather surprising for a major course of action to be approved by a bare majority. One of my responsibilities was to prepare and keep the corporate minutes for our company and its subsidiaries (around 150) and nothing was ever passed that was less than unanimous.
I have them both. Trident was the last one I purchased from them. I’ve found that you can find some titles cheaply or cheaper than original retail.
Their customer service (which I think they outsource) is very good and responsive. I had issues with a couple of records. I sent them sound clips and they replaced them immediately.
The answers to your questions are yes. As a non member you used to be able to buy the titles when they came out. No more. Now, it’s first reserved for members.
I used to belong but quit about a year ago as there is nothing I wanted to purchase. I’ve been happy with what I purchased.
The lawsuit sounds like the CEO breached his fiduciary duty to the company and spent money he wasn’t authorized to spend. He’s going to need a good attorney.
