In re Applications of Atlantic Recording Corp.
New York Supreme Court
747 N.Y.S.2d 889 (2002)
Facts
Dream Street was what the music industry labeled a concept group—a group created not by its own members, but by a producer or promoter who essentially dictated the group’s career. Dream Street consisted of five minor teenagers. Parents of three of the teenagers developed an acrimonious relationship with Dream Street Entertainment, Inc. (the producer), which managed the group. The parents sought not only to withdraw their children from the group but also to retain rights to use the Dream Street name in the teenagers’ future musical endeavors. The three teenagers wished to continue working together, but they and their parents did not specify a name for a proposed new group. The parents sought an advisory opinion from the court.
