Via the NxEW twitter feed, i(heart)music is in a little bit of legal trouble...
The nuts of it is that Matthew has been helping put on shows in Ottawa for a while now, and SOCAN is coming after him for about $2,000 bucks. Why? Well, apparently every time you promote a show with a SOCAN artist they are entitled to $35 or 3% of the door. I guess no one explained this to Matthew (one would think the venues might be aware of this sort of thing), and so now he's kind of up the creek as they say...
If you (heart) music you can make a donation at the i(heart)music site. Let's all cross our fingers and hope that Matthew can afford to keep doing what he does...
