p2pnet.net News:- Music agent James L. Walker, whose clients include International Gospel Hall of Fame member Bobby Jones and Grammy award nominee Twinkie Clark, is suing Sony BMG.

The claim?

That the Big Four cartel, “ tricked some of gospel music’s biggest stars into firing their agent in an effort to keep company costs down and retain control over one of the industry’s fastest growing markets,” says the Associated Press.

"BMG’s intimidation tactics were part of its campaign to exploit artists, writers, producers and arrangers and pressure them to accept mediocre or minimal compensation for their artistic contributions," Walker’s lawsuit reads, states AP, adding that Walker says Max Siegel, vp of Sony BMG’s Verity Records gospel subsidiary, intimidated the artists into hiring him as their representative.
