...Just as he had done for Britney on October 10, 1997.

I read somewhere she started recording music since august 1997? So she must signed before this date?

We found a copy of the contract.

She signed in September.

...

Sept. 10, 1997 - Britney signs a recording contract with Zomba Enterprises, Inc. The contract comes with a "get-out" clause, meaning the record label can drop her within 90 days.

Source: Petition for Judicial Approval of Contracts Affecting the Interests of a Minor, Re: “Zomba Recording Corporation and Brittany Spears, Dated as of August 4, 1997,” Administration of the Estate of Britney Spears, Minor, By Her Father, 21st Judicial District Court for the Parish of Tangipahoa, State of Louisiana, No. 9703154, October 10, 1997.

Oct. 10, 1997 - With Larry Rudolph acting as his legal representation, James Spears signs an affidavit and a “Petition for Judicial Approval” of Britney’s recording contract with Zomba. Lynne Spears also signs an Oath as “undertutrix ad hoc for the minor Britney Spears,” seeking judicial approval of the contract. A handwritten note to the Tangipahoa Clerk of Court on October 7, 1997 reads, “Judy, This is what Ruth Spears called about.” Once the contract is signed, Britney is immediately relocated to New York City, housed in a Jive Records penthouse, and groomed to become the American version of Robyn. In order to give Britney some direction, Jive’s A&R executive Steve Lunt shows her Robyn's music videos, to which Britney responds, "The record is really good, but the video is all wrong. It's in boring black-and-white and no one is dancing. If it were me I'd be wearing a miniskirt and I'd be dancing.”

Here is why she started recording her music that month. Even her deal was not officially allowed that moment.

I noticed when these docs first were posted that her name spelled Wrong. What’s that about?

We were referring to Britney's contract.

BananaBoy wrote that he heard that Britney had started recording in August of 1997.

I responded that James Parnell signed in October of 1997, but Britney signed earlier in September of 1997.

Not only that, but many of the earlier documents also get her home address wrong.

Larry was sloppy.

I don't know if youve seen some of her old docs for the trademarks but some of them had a line where Britney Spears herself actually was supposed to sign. Curious about that lol

[Ghoulia]

I haven't found a JL contract (nor do I have much hope) but I did find this hilarious 2005 Girls' Life magazine article.

Probably the only actually interesting factoid in this article:  Bryan is referred to as her manager. 

I wonder if all of these people were being paid by Britney? 

Sharing this because it's been a long day and this made me laugh.  

Whole article if anyone is interested!

I think this might have been used for her master recordings.

Which is what I think Miss Britney Recording is for. I learned while speaking with people who were subject matter experts for trademark law online that her trademarks would not protect her music. Which is great news for Britney as it means any new music released would likely stay between her and Sony/RCA. Even though the company is ****ty, imo.

But I think someone (Probably Lou, since Jamie is going bankrupt) retains ownership over some of her old masters, because UMG said they dont own all of her music and haven't always been completely exclusive.

That makes sense. Are you familiar with the other record companies listed under "Got the Boy" in this CMT awards poster in 2016?

Just like Britney, Shamie-Lynn Fears-Jail had her own TMs (word marks of her name) that are now dead. She now has live word marks that belong to this so called Sweet Jamie Music.

She's really hoping to make that film or music career happen. You'd think she'd lean into the product promotion like her MLM peddling mother.

You should see the ridiculous amount of things Britney Spears is trademarked use for. Clocks... watches... jewlery.. shampoo... body glitter... hundreds of extremely random ****. Whoever comes up with these ideas are absolutely milking them. I can see why they would try to control Bs trademarks or would rush to get them before she is out of the Cship. I had a feeling they saw it coming. I bet thats why they wanted to do that.

Did James Spears attend Cri-Help when he attended rehab in 2004?

Cri-Help is straight down the street from the Bluffside Drive address. It would take only minutes to drive between the two.

Also...

Feb. 16, 2006 - JAA Entertainment is registered with the California Secretary of State.

I wonder if anyone assisted him with registering this?

Ohhh great observation. About the locations!

Hahaha 🤭 can’t dance is funny.

Shamie Lynne did make money from the show, so it is theoretically possible she paid for the entourage.

Right!  That's why it seems majorly floptastic for JL's trademark to mostly cover streaming video.

Three versions of the same press release about JL releasing a country music album in 2009.
