While I'm sure your derivative is also illegal, the injunction I'm planning to file regards the unauthorised use of my songs and the threats I've received.
Those songs aren't replicable. You can't even sing them or get the chords right.
I'm not a member of the NZ Writer's Guild (too pricey), but APRA has my back.
As I say, Ella uses APRA. Marlon uses APRA. If you stole their songs, you'd be in court.

This is your fault for believing in all that status game garbage.
Cass, James, Alice, Toa and Steve presumed that they had the inherent right to rewrite.
None of you talked to me because I'm lower on the totem pole (or was until this year).
All you had to do, Mr. Barr, was meet me in early 2023. Instead, I got an FTAC referral.
I gave Mr. Barr over three years to enter binding arbitration or mediation.
The injunction is a last-gasp measure following C&D letters and a police investigation.

If your script is so fucking good, remove all the infringing elements and score a goal.
If it requires my body, my voice and my songs, then you need to fuck off.
Let's not forget that Mr. Barr and Mr. Mendes blackmailed me. That's the real tragedy, not some old farts with delusions of grandeur going to jail. If Mr. Mendes got so hopped up on his Bond films that he got into a fatal shootout, then that's definitely not my responsibility.
