You've already established that you want to threaten me into consenting, and that is simply and plainly illegal. VUW has zero legal claim to Amanda Riddell's screenplay, and (more importantly) Amanda Riddell's songs are solely her intellectual property. Those are my music and my lyrics, and that also applies to Pan's Preludes. There is no legally valid basis on which you can attempt to force me to 'be nice' and to 'destroy ed' .. the only legally valid reality is that Amanda refuses to license her songs and that is fair, that is reasonable, and that is why APRA exists. If you're unwilling to make my Tina script unless I sing my EP songs and Cassandra Tse gets to sing my Beach Song, then my answer is actually no. I own my IP, instead of VUW or the NZ Film Commission (who spied without paying me a dime). That is a fair answer because Mx. Tse has no legally valid recourse to claim ownership of my Beach Song. That song is 100% words and music by Amanda and that's the reality. That is my message to Red Scare: fuck off and write your own songs. My songs from the 2030 musical have NEVER been in the Weeded Out scripts. Because of this, they are not covered under the same IP agreement. There is no argument that the lawyers of my enemies could use to change that truth. They can claim 'oh, that pitch was a contract', but they are WRONG. Back the fuck off, respect my wishes regarding my prose adaptation and support the realisation of my 2030 musical, rather than moaning that I'm not doing what you want.
