EMI has issued a statement on its $30 million lawsuit against the Jared Leto-fronted outfit 30 Seconds To Mars that says in part: “The hard work of EMI’s global team and of the band has resulted in sales of 3 million albums and singles, multiple awards and a growing, global fan base. However, we have been forced to take procedural, legal steps in order to protect EMI’s investment and rights during contract renegotiations initiated by the band and management.” So should we translate this frosty corporate missive as “videos shot in China cost money, you dumbasses” or “sure, we’ll keep the publicity stunt going so people remember who you are when your next record comes out”?
