Amway Sues Sony

Amway is back in court over a dispute with record companies tied to a copyright infringement case settled 16 years ago.
The multi-level marketing giant is suing UMG Recordings Inc., Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group Corp., for violating a 1998 settlement, which required them to provide notice of copyright infringement allegations by Amway distributors so the Ada-based company could investigate and stop them, reportsLaw360.

The project was picked up in a competitive environment and several studios, including Warners and Paramount, were bidding, according to sources. The movie marks the first official role Bullock has taken on since her Oscar nomination this year for her performance in Gravity.
Taylor wrote the script for the project, which is based on Tupperware Unsealed, the nonfiction book written by Bob Kealing about Tupperware marketing guru Brownie Wise.
Tupperware was originally developed by Earl Silas Tupper but took off in the 1950s when sales exec Wise came up with the idea of having Tupperware parties. Soon those gatherings were sweeping the nation, and Wise became as popular as the product she was selling. In 1954, she became the first woman to appear on the cover of Businessweek.
Wise, unfortunately, began clashing with Tupper, who eventually
