30 seconds to Mars gets sued...by their own record company.


the LA based band fronted by actor Jared Leto (Requiem for a Dream; "angel face" in Fight Club) is using a loophole in their contract (that one cannot be bound to a contract for more than 7 years) to get out of a bad relationship with Virgin/EMI. they've had a tumultuous relationship, and the company insists that 30STM owes them 3 more records (they haven't had an effort out since "A Beautiful Lie" in 2005), and is thus suing them for 30 million dollars. yep, that's right, 30 million.

sorry, no accompanying mp3, they aren't on my computer (I listened to them a lot junior year of high school) and I don't feel like digging through my collection to find one of their cds.
