Beck begins fight for his artistic freedom. By fighting back in a way similar to
Prince's famous artistic rights battles. Here is a brief quote:



"Beck has invoked protection under a decades-old California law created to protect
contract actors from the contraints of long term movie studio deals. The law,
California Labor Code Section 2855, has been invoked by a number of artists including
Metallica, Luther Vandross, Don Henley and Smashing Pumpkins, but has never been
argued in court by a record company over fear that a loss could set a dangerous
precedent by giving all artists free-agency status after a seven-year run."
