Furthermore, she alleged the defendants"have no publishing/administration infrastructure or knowledge" and claimed they're"nothing more than middlemen who will need to engage a true publisher/administrator ," per the court documents.
Megan also alleged in the court documents that the defendants control her live performance and touring rights with the contract granting 1501 exclusive rights to use her name, likeness and photos"in the exercise" of her live performances and touring activities. However, they allegedly"have no obligation to obtain any approvals" from Megan for these activities.
"Although required to do nothing in this regard, Defendants unconscionably take 30 percent of all touring monies , while all advances under the Contract may be recoupable against Pete's share as the Contract does not say that advances from activities other than live performance and touring activities are uncrossed from Pete's royalties for live performances and touring activities," the court documents stated.

She also claimed they take 30 percent of this money.
