CNN BREAKING: Effective at midnight on May 16, 2011, popular music services Rhapsody, Napster, iTunes and Amazon will respond to a court order and cease selling MP3s and CDs of pre-recorded music.
Songstress Kiki Dee, best known for her smash 1974 hit "I've Got The Music In Me," took her case to Los Angeles Superior Court in January 2010. After a long and expensive legal battle, the court ruled in her favor, acknowledging that she did in fact have the music in her before the birth of noth CD and MP3 technology.
Amazon will still be allowed to sell vinyl albums, but all sales and streaming of music on the Internet will now be conducted exclusively through Ms. Dee's official Website,
KikiDee.com.
Kiki Dee has released a total of 19 albums in her career, which most people did not buy. They will now have an opportunity to do so as outside artists will not be allowed to sell CDs or MP3s without stiff fines and possible prison sentences. Ms. Dee could not be reached for comment.
