Because I’m Not That Stupid

Posted on Comments

Perhaps some readers will recall this noxious video:

When I posted that horrible thing April 24, I warned that “Fark.com has quite accurately described [it] as ‘The worst version of “Sweet Home Alabama” in the entire history of ever.’ ”

Operating as usual in fire-and-forget mode, I paid no further attention until May 2 when I observed that this had become “The Longest Comment Thread in the History of This Blog” and added:

For the record, I cannot vouch for the accuracy of any of what people write in the comments. . . . 
So now I’ve got the blogospheric equivalent of a “Jerry Springer Show” episode in the comments of a two-week-old post that I just put up as a bit of weekend snark. But I guess it goes to show the unpredictable nature of online viral phenomena.

Well, this yammering continued — now 500+ comments — entirely unheeded until today when I received an e-mail “cease and desist” notice:

Submitted to Evidence:
5/10/2010
Case #0014374892010crv
Submitted to: State(s) Federal Bureau of Investigation div. of Cyber Crimes
(New Jersey, Florida, Ohio, Tennessee, Oregon, North Carolina, Texas, North Dakota, Louisiana, Mississippi, Idaho)
Submitted to: Local Law Enforcement Columbiana County Ohio / Cleveland AAU Div. . . .
From:
Blaze Records USA
Department of Legal Affairs
*Please be advised that Blaze Records USA and the Artist’s that it represents Have not posted to this blog.
Any and all information posted here has been tracked, traced, documented and submitted as evidence to the proper authorities.
Legal Issues (AP Press Release) April 27, 2010
We are very pleased to announce that on April 27, 2010 Blaze Records USA has been granted an injunction to file a National Class Action Lawsuit on behalf of Blaze Records USA and the Artist’s that it represents.
Over the past eight months, Blaze Records USA and the Artist’s in which it represents, has endured continues harassment, slander and defamation of character from several individuals and companies.
During the past eight months, the Blaze Records USA Internet Security Team has collected and documented over 6,000 pages of evidence related to this case. They have also collected and documented over 400 cases of Copyright Infringement and Trademark Violations from several individuals.
A legal advisory panel consisting of 11 Attorney’s, 4 Judges and several law enforcement officials has been assembled to ensure the handling of this case and to seek justice for all parties who’s legal rights have been violated.
Both Civil and Criminal charges will be filed against all persons involved and will be filed in the following states: Oregon, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Florida, Texas, Idaho, Tennessee, Georgia, and New Jersey.
Insuring the rights and safety of Blaze Records USA Artist’s, is and will continue to be a priority and this behavior, will not be tolerated nor taken lightly.
Any and all questions or concerns with this issue should be brought to our attention and will be immediately addressed as a priority and handled with confidentiality. . . .

Blah, blah, blah. Although I’m not a lawyer, I’m reliably informed that the so-called “safe harbor” provision of the Communications Decency Act means that I’m not responsible for idiotic comments by idiotic commenters, especially comments I’ve never seen on a three-week-old post.

Certainly, I cannot be accused of malice against people I’ve never met, on the basis of comments I’ve never seen, which were posted by anonymous assclowns.

However, despite its legal and grammatical deficiencies, this e-mail about a “legal advisory panel” threatening me with “Civil and Criminal charges” prompts me to wonder about Blaze Records USA. Does anybody else find it strange that this record company (which nobody ever heard of) should employ both a “Legal Affairs Department” and an “Internet Security Team”? Since they can afford all that stuff, maybe they should also invest in a halfway decent Web site.

Or hire some singers who can, y’know, sing.

Exit Question: Is Champagne Dream the Jackie Mackie Paisley Passey of music?

  6. Blaze Records is not a legit label. Blaze Records is a pretend studio in a bedroom in dinky little house in East Liverpool, Ohio who thinks he’s a major producer. Check out his videos on You Tube.
    Can anyone even imagine that this man who says he’s a professional, would post crap like that? And even sent a cd to a radio station! Read it for yourself:

  36. I live in Wisconsin and I know that Blaze does not exist as a big time recording studio. I am considering hiring a private eye to investigate Blaze Records/Tony Calabrese. Private investigators leave no stones unturned.
    We shall see if he is who he says he is. Then we shall see what his “artists” think of him when it all comes crashing in around him. Brace yourself Blaze Records. I wouldn’t laugh too hard about cheese curds TC. They’ve made me a lot of money. I can afford a private investigator.
    I think its time we find out and what you really are. We already know what and who you are not and that is you are not a real label and you are not a record producer and you damn sure don’t know shit about videos.
    Want some cheese curds Fake Label Guy?

  40. Jerry, I don’t know Jerry. But she’s that many or more steps off of correct dance moves. LOL And do you see her head bobbing up down? Reminds me of those Pep Boys commercials with their heads bobbing. Now there’s something she can do when Blaze goes tumbling down. Audition for a Pep Boys commercial.
    Blaze you are a fake label and don’t know shit about videos or talent.

  48. Nelly/Bobby/Ron/Tony Blaze is a phony record label and soon the world will know. That I promise. So sad that the video is still up. Poor Kesha’s video so damaged by Champagne Dream.
    I think Blaze Records/Tony Calabrese has few marbles loose, in thinking that he can shoot videos. You suck Blaze Records. If you have so much money, then invest in real video equipment not some cheap digital camera. Oh, forgot to tell you, also you need to invest in real singers. LOL Must be hitting a raw nerve somewhere for you to get so upset.

  50. Nelly/Ron/Bobby aka Blaze Records USA/Tony Calabrese Put that horrid video with Champagne singing Tik Tok up on Blaze’s site so we can direct Kesha and more people to it more easily. Kesha would probably faint or maybe die if she knew about your video.
    Blaze rules alright…rules as king of crummy shoddy piss ass work he calls videos, and rules as the Biggest fake record label in America.
