'N Sync Face New Legal Action


News - Fri 22 Oct 1999

'N Sync have been served another lawsuit by an unnamed individual seeking a fee for the use of copyright, the copyright in question being the band's name, 'N Sync.

The band have been stuck in the middle of a legal wrangle since Jive Records had a writ slapped on them by the boys' original label who claim to have trademarked the band's name back in 1996.

Band member Justin Timberlake has broken 'N Sync's silence on the issue, telling the press: "I can give you my personal opinion: Love the music, hate the business. It's a screwball business and there are a lot of players who will straight-up lie to you."

In a statement issued by the group, the boys make their feelings on the issue perfectly clear: "Trans Continental's ['N Sync's previous label] conduct with regard to 'N Sync is the most glaring, overt and callous example of artist exploitation that the music industry has seen in a long time."
