Department of Justice Investigates Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan's Stealing of James Damiano's Songs

No artist can lay claim to the controversy that has surrounded the career of songwriter James Damiano. Thirty two years ago James Damiano began an odyssey that led him into a legal maelstrom with Bob Dylan that, to this day, fascinates the greatest of intellectual minds.

Since auditioning for the legendary CBS Record producer John Hammond, Sr., who influenced the careers of music industry icons Charlie Christian, Billy Holiday, Bob Dylan, Pete Seger, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Ray Vaughan , James has engaged in a half a billion dollar copyright infringement law suit with Bob Dylan.

As the curtain rises on the stage of deceit we learn that CBS / Sony international recording artist, Bob Dylan not only used songs and lyrics written by James Damiano but also solicited Mr. Damiano's materials for a period of over ten years and eleven months.

As per Judicial filings Bob Dylan's name is credited to the songs. One of those songs is nominated for a Grammy as the best rock song of the year. Ironically the title of that song is Dignity.

Attorney Wanted To File Against Bob Dylan For Plagiarism & More

U. S. Department of Justice

Mail Referral Unit

950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW

Washington, DC 20530-0001

Re: DOJ Case No. 2462370

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is James Damiano and for over sixteen years I have been fighting in federal court to retain the

rights to my Intellectual Property from Bob Dylan for the theft of my entire song catalog, which has taken

thirty-seven years of my life to write. This catalog, in the hands of the right people, could be worth close to a half

a billion dollars. That should set the facts straight.

On June 16, 2009 the following letter was sent to Bob Dylan's Attorney Orin Snyder written by James

Damiano's Attorney Robert Church, regarding boxes of James Damiano's songs produced to Orin Snyder during

discovery. There were approximately fifteen to twenty-five boxes filled with anywhere from 200 to 400 finished

and unfinished songs in each box - thirty seven years of writing - that were never returned.

Dear Mr. Snyder:

I have one other matter. Mr. Damiano informs me that Steven Kramer (James Damiano's lead attorney)

had several boxes of songs delivered to Parcher & Hayes during the discovery phase of his case against

Dylan. Mr. Kramer never made copies of the documents, since I am presuming he felt pressed to comply

with an overdue discovery request. Mr. Damiano informs me that he has never had all the original songs

returned to his possession, even though the case is over. If you don't mind, please explain what you can

recall about Mr. Damiano's song production. Do you still have songs unaccounted for? Can they be

returned?

Sincerely,

Robert Church

Attached is a copy of my DVD detailing the allegations of theft leveled against Mr. Dylan in addition to

the similar allegations of judicial corruption filed by 5forJustice now 6forJustice.

This DVD includes Bob Dylan's publicist's testimony when asked "Have you ever lied to James

Damiano? Everyone I know that has seen this testimony believed it to be nothing less than shocking?

The enclosed DVD only supplies a small proportion of the actual amount of testimony that implicates

not only Bob Dylan aka Robert Zimmerman but also Judge Simandle for aiding in Bob Dylan's Stealing of James

Damiano's songs. There is another thirty four hours of testimony which I would be happy to produce upon

request.

Please Note: Judge Simandle's rulings are a hundred percent inconsistent with the facts of this

case. The DOJ is well aware that this case was illegally dismissed as per Rule 56 ( c ) of the Federal Rules of

Civil Procedure. You know, Law 101?

Over seven years ago the following statement was downloaded by Bob Dylan's attorney Orin Snyder and

produced to the court yet never contested or denied either publicly or judicially. It was then downloaded two

more times and produced to Judge Simandle without being denied or contested and now rests within the docket of

the court.

It is judicially uncontested that Bob Dylan and people in Bob Dylan's entourage have solicited songs

written by James Damiano for a period of over ten years and eleven months

Another shocking fact in this case is Bob Dylan was subpoenaed to court and never appeared. Bob Dylan

has never produced an affidavit of denial regarding the facts and allegations produced in the complaint and or

during discovery. It appears Bob Dylan is above the law.

This DVD also incriminates Mr. Dylan's lead attorney Orin Snyder of LYING TO THE COURT by

signing his name to declarations stating that I am delusional. Mr. Snyder made this statement in light of the

testimony documented on this DVD which is one hundred percent adverse to Mr. Snyder's statement.

I was asked by the DOJ âs as a favor to them to not to file criminal charges against Judge Simandle for

illegally dismissing my law suit against Bob Dylan. They also stated that they would Owe Me One So here's

your chance to live up to your word, and pay me back my favor.

Note: This is by no means a comprehensive account of the facts in James Damiano Vs Bob Dylan

CV95-4795 JBS.

Please file this DVD with their original complaint as the 5forJustice are now 6forJustice.

We stand united in our quest for getting our Constitutional right to a jury trial of our peers.

I cannot believe that this has gone this far especially since my grand-mother was a senator

Seeking Attorney to File Default Motion Against Bob Dylan after following Bob Dylan admissions are added See below admissions and motion

In a Los Angeles Times Interview Bob Dylan admitted to plagiarizing a great percentage of his songs including "Blowin' In The Wind", "The Times They Are A Changin'" "Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" and more

“Well you have to understand that I’m not a melodist. My songs are either based on old Protestant hymns or Carter Family songs or variations of the blues form. What happens is, I’ll take a song and simply start playing it in my head. That’s the way I meditate". “I wrote ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ in 10 minutes, just put words to an old spiritual, probably something I learned from Carter Family records. That’s the folk music tradition – you use what has been handed down. ‘The Times They Are A-Changing’ is probably from an old Scottish folk Song.”...."I'll be playing Bob Nolan's 'Tumbling Tumbleweeds,' for instance, in my head constantly -- while I'm driving a car or talking to a person or sitting around or whatever. People will think they are talking to me and I'm talking back, but I'm not. I'm listening to the song in my head. At a certain point, some of the words will change and I'll start writing a song.".......Bob Dylan

Plaintiff has been afforded Additional information since the development of the internet and only recently it has come to our attention that Bob Dylan lied to the court when asked if he had ever been sued for plagiarism His answer to the court was no. The fact is that he had been sued twice.

Cases to be cited soon

Also Dylan recently in a Los Angeles times interview admitted to plagiarism by definition :

In a 2004 interview with Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times, Bob Dylan stated,

“Well you have to understand that I’m not a melodist. My songs are either based on old Protestant hymns or Carter Family songs or variations of the blues form. What happens is, I’ll take a song and simply start playing it in my head. That’s the way I meditate.” “I wrote ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ in 10 minutes, just put words to an old spiritual, probably something I learned from Carter Family records.
