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.

auditioning for the legendary CBS Record producer John Hammond, Sr., who
influenced the careers of music industry icons Charlie Christian, Billy

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.

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.
