T-Pain Sues Auto-Tune Company (Blog)

Rapper T-Pain has filed suit against an Auto-Tune effect company, claiming illegal use of his image and likeness to sell its products.

T-Pain has used the pitch correction software extensively throughout his career and had teamed up with Antares to promote its Auto-Tune items. But his deal with Antares ended in June, and T-Pain partnered with rival firm Izotope to create his own range of sound effects, called The T-Pain Effect.

The hip-hop star is demanding at least $1 million in damages, reports AllHipHop.com. He is also asking a California judge to issue an injunction preventing Antares from using anything that could connect T-Pain to the company's Auto-Tune devices, claiming it could substantially damage sales of his Izotope products.

Good Samaritan finds $16,000, returns it to owner (BLOG)

TURLOCK, Calif. — When a Turlock business owner went to deposit cash at a Farmers and Merchant Bank's drop box, he found a stack of money inside.

Tehal Dosanjh looked at the deposit slip wrapped around the money. It read: $16,000.
"I was shocked, I couldn't believe my eyes,” Dosanjh said.

The bank was closed, so he took the money home and put it in a safe place.
Having all that cash overnight was never a temptation, Dosanjh said.

“I knew what I had to do the next morning, which was to return it to the bank.”
Dosanjh said his parents and the Sikh religion taught him honesty and hard work.

“I have been blessed with so much, I really wanted to give it back to (a person) that really earned it," he said. "I you haven't earned it, it doesn't belong to you.

A spokesperson for the bank said the money was sitting there because the customer before Dosanjh did not deposit the large sum of money correctly.

The bank was thankful Dosanjh returned the money so they could get it back to the rightful owner.
Dosanjh said the whole ordeal left him feeling great. He can go to sleep at night knowing he did the right thing.
