Thread Name: Celtic Music Dave Bulmer (4)
Subject: RE: Celtic Music Dave Bulmer (4)
I'm not a bit surprised that the owner of the clarrion site isn't revealing their identity! Before Sharpley was subject to the current restraints he would have sent them some very unwelcome correspondence, and even now CM might attempt to take action for libel if they can prove any of it's not true or defamation if they can't, or make life unpleasant in other ways.

The people with most detailed knowledge about CM's shady dealings are the ones who were directly involved. Just as Pat Cooksey can't reveal a lot of detail because it might prejudice his current lawsuit, there are similar reasons why others aren't going to say too much in case it prejudices any future opportunity for legal action. And while CM own the publication rights to various recordings they have a certain amount of power.

If Dave Bulmer were, as a result of prosecution for his business irregularities, forced to relinquish his ownership of CM and the artists got their music and rights back, only then I think we might hear a bit more...
