Legendary producer and former member of music group Blackstreet, Teddy Riley, has filed a lawsuit against estranged group members for illegal use of the quartet's name, VIBE magazine reports. But Riley isn't taking on all his bandmates alone. According to the lawsuit, Teddy Riley, who reportedly owns the Blackstreet trademark, also filed with co-owner and group member Chauncey Black. The pair have held rights to the name since 1992. In the lawsuit, Riley and Black alleged that Mark Middleton and Eric Williams have booked themselves for performances and used the name without permission since 2003. Middleton and Williams have continued to use the trademark, ignoring cease and desist letters sent by Riley and Black's lawyers. "Defendants have used the name and mark Blackstreet in such a manner as to create actual confusion and likelihood of confusion among prospective customers and/or purchasers of the services provided by plaintiffs," the lawsuit reads, according to AllHipHop.com. Middleton and Williams admitted to having issues with Riley and Black during a radio interview on Hartford, Connecticut's Hot 93.7. They claimed there were "two sets" of Blackstreet because the two owners refused to share proceeds. According to AllHipHop.com, Riley and Black said that Middleton and Williams signed a contract, stipulating they were "works for hire" and had no rights to the trademark name. 大意是 Teddy Riley宣称由他主导的R&B美声团体BLACKstreet 这团名早在1992年就注册了 但在2003年被Mark Middleton和Eric Williams拿去使用 他要告这两位前团员侵权 因为这些年造成他们商业利益与听众的混淆 Mark和Eric说 当初BLACKstreet本来就是共用的 Teddy却说 这两人是被BLACKstreet雇用的 Mark和Eric近年来都在幕後写歌与制作 我印象中好像没有用BLACKstreet之名（待查） 　而根据熟稔黑乐的朋友爆料 Teddy似乎有把籍籍无名创作人的作品盗用的纪录 看来人品好像不怎麽高 这次的诉讼 也宣告BLACKstreet近期的重组计划受挫 毕竟BLACKstreet本来就是团体形象 而且团员个个也都有料 即使Teddy Riley是主导其中运作 BLACKstreet这名字也是有趣 BLACK是Chauncey 'Hannibal' Black和Joseph Stonestreet的姓名缩写 最後 谁能告诉我曾记麻薯到底是谁的呢???? -- http://crotchery2.blogspot.com/ --
