It is judicially uncontested by Bob Dylan and or Bob Dylan's law firms Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, Parcher Hayes & Snyder, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, Hecker Brown & Sherry and Sony House Counel that Bob Dylan and people in Bob Dylan's entourage have solicited James Damiano's songs and music for a period of over ten years eleven months. http://jamesdamiano.yolasite.com/
