It seems like they're trying to kill two birds with one stone. They may tell Luke he can go and take all the artists on his label with him. This doesn't mean Kesha will be free. Her contract is still with Luke and if it was as simple as Sony snatching her contract from Luke, they probably would have done it by now.
I will hold off the celebrations until we get a statement from Kesha or Sony. I really do hope this means freedom for Kesha. I agree with everyone who said that they would get even bigger backlash for people if they didn't solve Kesha's issue first before dropping him
If this is true, there better be an out for the artists to leave Kemosabe and stay signed with Sony. Because leaving Kesha with Luke is NOT the solution to their PR problem.
Well what is the solution?
It'll just be seen as some kind of backfire with the fans anyway after doing the #freekesha movement
I'm not a lawyer or sth.
but wouldn't that mean if Kesha signed a deal with Luke in 2009 that Sony will contribute her music and he can't fullfill that for Kesha now after he's droped that her contract with him is also invalid?
Dropping Dr. Luke isn't the same as no longer working together. He'd simply become a free agent, and have to work freelance for them, like most producers. Still sucks for him because it means no guaranteed $12M a year from Sony.

Tbh, people are overestimating how negative perception would affect his career. He can easily use a pseudonym since he's just a behind the scenes guy

Sony would have to pay him $12m per year the contract would have lasted until to break the contract, so...
But is Sony cutting and running going to help her at all? is it gonna help void her contract with him? or is this just gonna leave her without a buffer?
