Rebecca Black in Friday legal battle

Rebecca Black and her mother, Georgina Marquez Kelly, have accused Ark Music Factory of copyright infringement and unlawful exploitation.

According to them, Ark, which produced the unlikely hit ‘Friday’ for $4,000, has exploited Black’s likeness, her song, created an unauthorized ringtone and is claiming she is an exclusive Ark recording artist. They also maintain that Ark has not, as promised, handed over the master recordings of the song and video.

"Suddenly, everyone is seeing big dollars and everyone is getting greedy and it sucks," Ark Music Factory partner Clarence Jay tells ‘Rolling Stone.’
