Why Are Britney, J. Timberlake, The Pussycat Dolls and the Lakers All Getting Sued?

It would seem unlikely for Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, The Pussycat Dolls and the LA Lakers to all be going down for the same crime, but believe it or not, all four are involved in a lawsuit with an electronics company that says they had their design ripped off by the artists and team.

Large Audience Display System has filed suit against these parties for using screens too similar to the ones they have patented in their shows and at their games. Britney just used hers on the Circus tour, but Justin has been using the ripped off design since FutureSex/LoveShow days.

While the suit may seem petty, the company that originated the design is screwed if major artists and venues keep using knock-offs of their design without receiving any credit. If using these fake designs continues to be a trend, the company will lose all their hard work and flounder.

Let’s hope that this just goes away and a settlement is quickly made. I really don’t want to be writing posts about Britney testifying in court over a projection screen. That might just push me over the edge.
