Wasn't there talk of a jukebox Mac musical?

I wonder if that sort of thing just breaks down now that Lindsey is out of the corporation.

It didn't hit me until now that kicking him out could potentially impact their future revenue streams that are not related to new music or touring.

Does Lindsey now have the ability to block all of that? Movies, musicals, movies based on musicals...

Or was anything like that a mess anyway with battling lawyers and agents?

Hazarding a guess here ... I'd say no. You can't have it both ways. On the one hand, being "happy enough" with your payout from your former employer and on the other, blocking their creative directions and future incomes. Would Lindsey even want to do that, anyway?

I'd hazard a guess at yes. Without knowing the details of the deal that was struck- I'd assume that was purely a settlement regarding the lost tour income. Lindsey would surely retain his image rights and have a say in any future use of his identity that could result in financial gain.

How about Glenn Howerton from Always Sunny in Philadelphia as Lindsey?

That is a VERY close resemblance!

There are movies about mass murderers with zero input from the (now in jail) mass murderers. Not talking about documentaries here. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood which is out now is a re-imagining of a murder of Susan Tate, Roman Polansky's wife. It angered the family of Bruce Lee as Bruce Lee is portrayed in the film as a buffoon. I doubt they bothered to sue Quentin Tarantino, even still.

And who can forget how publicly angry Amy Winehouse's father was with how he was portrayed in the biopic "Amy"? He couldn't sue for defamation though because they used real life footage of him talking to Amy. The way he treated her was real.

I imagine its difficult to sue somebody if you're a murderer in jail- but possible. Perhaps Bruce Lee's family could have sued if they felt it would have been worthwhile. I think image rights in America are quite complex- I think there are different laws in different states.

when you are a public figure and have given boatloads of interviews etc that are public you really can't stop someone from actually making a movie.

That's why Stevie never actually said, if you read her comments carefully, that she would stop Lindsay Lohan from making a movie about her, she said she would slam it in the press so hard no one would go see it.

Which actually is shockingly naive because the more she would bad mouth the movie the more attention it would get and the more people would want to go see it to see if what she complained about was true. And the critics etc would love it because it would give them a whole juicy story to write about.

It's actually got a name-- it's called the "Streisand effect" (google it). Short version is someone was publishing something (a coastal environmental study or some such) that inadvertently included a picture of Streisand's house. She made a big stink trying to get them to remove it or whatever and all it did was draw more attention and more people finding out where she lived-- the very thing she was trying to prevent. If she had just shut up about it not very many people would have seen the article and thus learned her address. So in bad mouthing the Lohan movie Stevie would in fact have been giving the movie MILLIONS in free publicity. Stupid.

But it speaks to Stevie's inflated opinion of herself and her power in the media. She's used this kind of argument many times within the band to get her way on stuff-- I think MIck even wrote about it in his first book-- she said "How will it look if I go to Rolling Stone or whoever and trash the album?" Ego much?

I suspect it stunned her the amount of negative backlash she got from the LB firing. You know it had to because they've largely kept her protected from any media contact, hidden away in her little ego cocoon where you know, she's a LEGEND and whatever delusions she has are treated as reality.

I'm not referring to a depiction of Lindsey (though that's a good legal question; I just don't know), I'm referring to the use of his songs. If you can't use Go Your Own Way in a FM jukebox musical, what's the point?

Fleetwood Mac owns those songs, not Lindsey personally. They can use them in a musical. Personally, he is entitled to royalties but cannot grant or withhold permission. You remember how angry Stevie was with Mick over SS. He didn’t want her to use her own song. Actually, they could stop Lindsey from using GYOW in a musical if they wanted.

Now, his SYW songs are different. I believe Lindsey does own those himself.

So who the hell sold GYOW for that bladder commercial(or whatever the hell it is?)?

FM or Lindsey?

EDIT- And now, Abominable?(just saw the trailer for it).


Okay, unless I hear differently, I have to blame Dick. I mean Mick. #f*ckingloser

But there's a difference between owning a recording and owning the song, isn't there? Mick wouldn't give Stevie the recording of SS, but nothing could've stopped her from recording another version if she wanted to. (I don't follow Taylor Swift closely enough to know for sure, but isn't she talking about re-recording old albums due to a similar issue?)

Yes anyone can record GYOW as a plain record, as long as they pay ASCAP, BMI or whoever the publisher is. There’s a mechanical license to record the song and pay the writer and a master license to record the song and pay the artist, Fleetwood Mac (for the specific recording like you said).

But it is a little different for a musical. It’s a different license at issue because it involves both music and visual art. You would need a theatrical license to use it in a play. The owner of the copyright can give that permission. Lindsey only owns his 1975-1987 stuff as part of FM. FM is the copyright owner. You can record the audio without FM’s permission, but you can’t do a play without it.

Yes, youÂ’re right about Stevie. She couldÂ’ve recorded Silver Springs again.
