Re: Michael - The Great Album Debate (Only Go Here if You Want To Continue The Controversy)
ok, ivy, after all of this back-and-forth, does it even MATTER why the video was taken down?
There was a mistaken assumption that as it was copyright claim it had to be about the music. I factually presented that copyright is much more than the music and it could solely be based on the video and even the pictures used in it.
the point is that it shows a connection between jabme (porte) and the cascios/jason malachi/teddy.
wasn't that already obvious as Jab me music was listed in the credits? Everyone knew that it was related to Cascio and/or Porte. any connection to jason or teddy is just speculation. (and fyi - it's possible to give authorization to someone to protect your copyrights even though they are not the copyright owner. for example in the Estate - Mann lawsuit you can see Sony authorizing MJ Estate to make/ pursue copyright claims on "Destiny / Opus None". so for example Teddy could have given them authorization about anything related to him)
I mean, even if it IS because jab me is also eddie's production company, that's an even bigger cascio/porte connection. which is shady.
how so? I don't know if you know or not Cascio and Porte had been doing music together for some time at least since 2003 (Luther Vandross song "Think About You" 2003 released has both Cascio - engineer and Porte - lyrics) . How is working together is shady?

Edit here's an 2003 article from Eddie's school newspaper
Eddie Cascio: producer/student
By Patrick McCluskey
Published: Friday, October 3, 2003
Head of a company receiving royalties on his own songs and soon to be out of college, Eddie Cascio (C'04) has a world of opportunity ahead of him. Only two years after starting Angelikson Music, Cascio was working with high profile celebrities such as Luther Vandross, *NSYNC and Usher.
However, like many, Cascio began in music by taking piano lessons which his parents signed him up for. Cascio found a love of writing music while still in high school.
Through a family friend with connections in the business, Cascio began writing for
Sony/ATV Music publishers in New York. Sony/ATV writers have ranged from Joni Mitchell to Destiny's Child. (i
vy's note: 3 guesses of who this family friend that got him a job in Sony/ ATV is? )
However, after about one year, Cascio decided that working for himself would be a better solution. "If you want to make it in this industry, you have to own what you do," says Casio. He went on to explain how "owning my own company makes me want to write more."
Using his newly formed music industry contacts, Cascio created Angelikson Music, founded under the studio name Angel. Today, Cascio's business has really taken off to new heights. Cascio worked on *NSYNC's song, "Fallin'" and music for
Vandross' "Think About You." Cascio recently worked on songs for Usher's upcoming album, scheduled for release in early November. He also is excited to be producing some new up-and-coming artists, such as
Bobby Ewing (ivy's note: aka James Porte). After finishing a copy of the album, Cascio hopes that a record deal will be in the future for Ewing, with Cascio himself as producer.
Balancing both college and his music career has been tough, yet both have been very important to Cascio. After graduation, he plans to continue with the musical track, however he says his sociology degree from Drew will still be of great help. "I have a better understanding of people," explains Cascio. "I use what I learn at Drew as a basic knowledge on which to build, as well as it helping me with my creativity in writing."
Casio is thrilled to be in the business of his dreams, explaining, "I'm very grateful for all the opportunities I've had in my life so far."
