Ne-Yo's publishing company writes Kartel

[waterhouse]

The current version of Vybz Kartel and Spice's Rampin Shop has been ordered to be destroyed and pulled from all radio stations
, television stations and the Internet by EMI Music
Publishing. Plans are in motion for the song to be re-mixed and re-mastered so it can be played on air again.

When the STAR spoke to Vybz Kartel yesterday he explained that he had received an e-mail from EMI Music Publishing stating that Rampin Shop infringes on the copyright license of Miss Independent by Ne-Yo. Rampin Shop was released towards the end of 2008 and is currently on a remade version of the Miss Independent rhythm, the song while immensely popular in Jamaica has not been officially released to the International market. While Ne-Yo is officially signed to Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG), the copyright license for the composition of the Ne-Yo song is licensed by EMI Music Publishing for composers Shaffer Smith, Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen.

Kartel forwarded the e-mail from EMI to the STAR in which it stated, "'Ramping Shop' by Vybz Kartel and Spice infringes the copyright in 'Miss Independent' (Smith/Hermansen/Eriksen). Clearance of this use of 'Miss Independent' has not been sought or obtained and I am informed that clearance will not be forthcoming. Accordingly 'Ramping Shop' cannot be released or exploited in any way. Please confirm your acknowledgement and acceptance of this, and that you will arrange that (i) all recordings of the infringing track will be re-called and destroyed and that no further copies will be issued, and (ii) that the audio and/or video

will be taken down immediately from all Internet sites."

According to Kartel the current version of the song will not be used and to solve the problem a re-mix of the song is currently being done. He said, "the remix will sound like dancehall, just like what Ne-Yo's people did when they made Miss Independent ... Notnice and I will be doing the remix today (yesterday) so listen out for it by Friday when it is mixed and mastered."

[Wêߧtå®]

lol.. so you think The publishing company actually was intuned to the happenings of dancehall? Or did someone from another rival camp contacted Ne-yo and company to give them the heads up..

[sandor]

agree with the principle .. but in reality, how can they expect kartel to stop the use of that version ramping shop. are they going to go all the 1001 selectors who have the mp3 and force them to delete their copies?

it's like the situation with LEXXUS where he has changed his name to Mr. Lex and toyota is still complaining that people are using the name Lexxus in reference to him.

all yuh can do is tell people to stop
digital era this ... anything that can be sent via the internet can't be locked down

THEY WILL HAVE TO DO IT ON A GOOD GOOD RIDDIM...

IMAGINE A BIG CHUNE REFIXED ON A DIFFERENT RIDDIM? WONT BE GOOD.


BUT AT TEH END OF IT ALL...

IT(RAMPING SHOP) WONT FLOP CUZ DI PEOPLE DEM ALREADY HAVE TEH PIRATEDORIGINAL VERSION...

EVERY DANCE, EVERY STAGE...THEY WILL MIX IT WITH MISS INDEPENDENT RIDDIM

HE JUST WONT BE ABLE TO PUT IT ON CD OR SUMN....AND WE ALL KNO THAT PEOPLE NEVA SELL THAT MUCH COPIES NEIDA..

MONEY IS AT TEH STAGE SHOW(UNLESS THEY GO TELL EVERY BANDSMAN NOT TO PLAY, WHICH WONT MEK SENSE), AND SHYT....

MAYBE IT DONT MAKE SENSE...BT KARTEL STILL GOOD IMO

[connected]

That song had the potential to be big like beenie man and lady saw

healing,they should have put it on an original riddim and market it the same way the market this version

[SmallIsland]

SO THE BIG QUESTION IS................WHEN DEM PUT THIS ON ANOTHER RIDDIM WILL IT GET THE SAME TYPE A PLAY???

I predict that people will still prefer the original version.
