The case is claiming unpaid royalties on Elvis songs sold in Germany between March 2002 and 2023. It was filed following amendments to German copyright law that extended the term of protection from 25 to 50 years. Brian

Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. and the Calunius Litigation Risk Fund announced today developments in a multi-million Euro lawsuit against Arista Music, formerly RCA Records, in Germany. The suit, which was filed in the name of its sister company Elvis Presley Enterprises, LLC in December 2010, is demanding proper payment for sound recordings in Germany featuring Elvis Presley including new media, like downloads, ringtones and entertainment apps that Presley himself could not have dreamed would someday exist. The suit is only applicable to sound recordings in Germany and is limited to amounts earned since March 2002 and future revenue until 2023 following an amendment to German copyright law that extended the term of copyright protection. The suit alleges that Presley was unjustly exploited during his lifetime by the record company and that his estate has continued to suffer from those injustices. The central issue, as it relates to this German suit, is the 1973 buyout agreement, which terminated all previous agreements between Presley and RCA. On February 28, 1973, under the agreement, which was first initiated by RCA and arranged by Presley’s manager, “Colonel” Tom Parker, rights to Presley’s entire back catalogue of more than 1,000 recordings were purchased by RCA for just $5.4 million. That money, inadequate as it was, had to be split equally between Presley and Parker. The suit alleges that the effect of the buyout agreement was that Presley only received an annual payment of about $10 - $15 per song for the German rights. EPE claims the amount of money he received from the buyout agreement with RCA was “conspicuously disproportionate” to the revenue received by RCA from its exploitation of Elvis Presley master recordings, during the extended portion of the copyright term in Germany. The claim asks for the remedy under German copyright law of "equitable remuneration" which is available in circumstances like this. The case is supported by the Calunius Fund, litigation funders, who have conducted an independent review of the merits of the case and of the amount of potential payments. Having reached a positive view of all aspects of the case, Calunius has committed a substantial investment to support the claim. “We have conducted a rigorous examination of the merits and quantum of this case, working closely with the plaintiffs,” said Christian Stuerwald, the Calunius partner with responsibility for this investment. “Together we have come to the conclusion that this case will win in the German Courts. We are particularly proud to be supporting such a clear and meritorious case in the historic interests of the greatest recording artist in history.” Brian B-)

An Elvis fan from Memphis reports that two city council members have confirmed that EPE is making preparations to build a new lavish Heartbreak Hotel near to the mansion. It won't be directly next door, but about 400 yards or so northward, at the site of the old Meadows apartment complex that is now demolished and boarded off by a huge iron fence. He reports that groundbreaking probably won't happen this year but will most likely begin in 2012. It's going to be an Elvis-themed luxury hotel with conference and meeting space. Much nicer and bigger than the current one. Sounds promising. Brian B)

The Memphis Police have now issued a different statement to that already released. If they had been more forthcoming earlier they could have stopped a lot of unnecessary speculation. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2011/...lice-say-death/ However, the case is still ongoing and will await the result of the autopsy before a decision is made as to the cause of death despite the police believing it was a suicide. Brian :(

Questions need to be raised regarding Gerrie's sudden death. Why wasn't her condominium searched immediately following the report of her missing being filed by a former police officer instead of some six days later? Has the rental car disappeared on it's own? Were there any notes left and were they in her handwriting? What was the cause of death? Were there any signs of violence on the body? Were there any signs of drugs? Who deleted her Facebook Page? If the rental car is found outside Tennessee then it will become within the realm of an FBI Investigation. That would expedite matters. Brian

A body has been found: http://www.wmctv.com/story/15310851/body-f...fan-was-staying So sad. Brian :(
