A Full Rundown of the Ongoing Legal Drama Between Kesha, Sony, and Dr. Luke

According to the New York Times, terminating Kesha's contract was never really an option for Sony. Scott A. Edelman, an attorney who represented the company, shed further light on the issue: "Sony has made it possible for Kesha to record without any connection, involvement, or interaction with Luke whatsoever, but Sony is not in a position to terminate the contractual relationship between Luke and Kesha . . . Sony is doing everything it can to support the artist in these circumstances, but is legally unable to terminate the contract to which it is not a party."
