Insane Clown Posse sued for multiple copyright infringements
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 4 November 2011
Insane Clown Posse are being sued by a company called Entity Productions, which controls the catalogue of Midnight Syndicate, an American group who specialise in gothic-esque instrumental music, often said to soundtrack horror films that never existed. Entity claims that ICP have used uncleared samples of Midnight Syndicate’s music on several of their tracks across three albums.
The music company says it first contacted the Insane Clown Posse and their Psychopathic Records label in 2009, after discovering Midnight Syndicate’s music had been used in a number of tracks on two albums by the hip hop duo’s side projects Dark Lotus and Twiztid, as well as on 2004 ICP album ‘Hell’s Pit’, but that it never received a response.
Entity is seeking $2.1 million in damages. Insane Clown Posse are yet to comment on the matter.
