1 day agoEstate of Johnny Cash suing Coca-Cola for using tribute act in advert
This case arises from Coca-Cola's pirating Johnny Cash's voice in a nationwide advertising campaign to enrich itself without asking for permission or providing any compensation to the humble man and artist who created the goodwill from which Coca-Cola now profits, the complaint said. Stealing the voice of an artist is theft. It is theft of his integrity, identity and humanity, said Tim Warnock, a lawyer for the Cash estate.
