Beyonce faces legal trouble over Cowboy Carter tour footage
India, May 5 -- Beyonce received a cease-and-desist letter over a recent performance on her ongoing Cowboy Carter tour, which commenced in Los Angeles, USA last week. Madison Square Garden entertainment's boss James Dolan sent a letter over the imagery in her first two shows, Page Six reported.
The 32-time Grammy winner was warned to remove a scene showing her grabbing and playing with the Las Vegas Sphere.
Sphere Entertainment has opposed Beyonce's Parkwood Entertainment of unauthorised use and IP violation."Beyonce - many orders of magnitude larger than the Sphere venue - leans over, picks up the venue, and looms over it," wrote lawyer Kathleen McCarthy in the cease-and-desist letter.
"SEG was never asked, and the prominent appearance and manipulation of SEG's Sphere venue in the video is unauthorised," he added. According to the lawyers, Beyonce's firm has not taken any permission, sparking "significant speculation" that the concert will finish with a residency at the venue.
The corporation has been directed to avoid using the Sphere venue in the video immediately, as well as refrain from using this imagery on any merchandise, promotional or marketing materials, or in tour movies.
Dolan and his team have given Beyonce a Monday deadline to take down the pictures from her performances. As per Dolan's SEG, it "reserves all rights to take further action" if she doesn't comply.
