Essentially, Kesha's lawyer argues that Sony's claims to let Kesha record without Luke in the picture at all are illusory and they have and will continue to support Luke over Kesha. Luke has generated a lot more money for Sony than Kesha has and so citing how much money has been invested into Kesha's career as reasoning for why Sony will continue to promote her is like a "drop in the bucket" compared to what Luke has and will continue to make.
Luke's lawyer, as well as Sony's lawyers, are alleging that they have made it clear to Kesha that she can record music without Luke's involvement and there's no need for any changes to be made to the contractual agreement, and certainly not a preliminary injunction. Sony claim that they've tried to get Kesha to record but she has refused and thus her being "put on ice" for two years while Luke has continued to work and profit as Kesha's lawyer claims is completely Kesha's choice.
The Court ruled in favour of Luke and Sony because there was not enough evidence provided that would demonstrate irreparable harm to Kesha's career if nothing was changed (given Sony had offered to let Kesha record without Luke, it would be her own doing if she didn't record) BUT there would be irreparable harm to Sony/Kemosabe if the contracts were nullified after investing so much money into Kesha's career.
