White claims that he was not properly compensated for his work and that his artwork was released and credited to someone else. He is seeking an injunction, damages, and profits for copyright infringement.

How does a top metal band not how this sorted out from day one? Unbelievable.
Suing is my business and business is good
This isn't a Megadeth issue, this is something attorneys handle.
Good. The artwork is shite anyway.
I hope Dave doesnt do Kiko like Gene and Paul did Bruce Kullick after the unplugged show. Dave would screw up big time as his current line up is the best he's had since the Marty years.
If the cover get's pulled, really gonna enjoy my LP as is.
The artwork was the single best part of the record without a doubt. 💫
Obviously, Mustaine, at this point is not handling this kind of shit, with artists and what not. Managers are paid for a reason. But I always find it quite hilarious, when Heavy/Thrash Metal bands, who are supposed to be idealistic, and write music and lyrics criticizing the shit that goes around this rotten world of ours, end up becoming what they bash in their songs lol.
You gotta have a contract! 🤦♂️
As if Megadeth doesn’t have the cash to pay for this ..this guy should be honoured that he draws art work for Megadeth..perhaps he should go back to his cartoons..making a wage that will cover the costs of his Kraft dinner..
I hate to say this but the guy will for sure win the suit. It's clear cut
TIME TO WRAP IT UP ..WHEN CHRIS BRODERICK LEFT SO DID THE MUSIC…
The cover art is so bad, it could be a jason newsted original.
At 48,000 albums sold the albums a bomb. My guess the artist won't be getting his money or the record label for that matter. Let me guess not Dave's fault as usual.
I’m actually suing everyone in the comment section just FYI
Kinda sounds like dave thought he could get away with it tbh. If this guy is right about all this he could probably win
simple, standard litigation, normal biz
Another YT channel with the mood lighting background. Imagine a channel being unique. Nah not the internet human hive mind..
I know it's probably accidental but the shirt Rogan is wearing is a bit gross.
My favorite Megadeth record..
What's Megadeth's side of the story? They get free artwork?
Is it because it sucks?
he's got a good case
Sounds like management dropped the ball. He definitely deserves compensation.
Artist is in his right. This happens too often. Gonna be a hefty bill now…
You would think Universal would have their shit together..
The new look is great but you should be centered on the screen
If Corey Taylor was getting sued you would be there rubbing his bollocks. Catching his tears in something I'm pretty sure you would be wearing around your neck. By the way have the federales found your backyard Graves
Make sure to buy the album and not open it so you can sell it for a jacked up price on ebay in 4 years
damn once again artists are screwed , and now with the ai stuff it will be even more the case
The art work is not even all that
LOL, how the heck did the artist allow a usable copy of his work to fall into the band's hands? Sounds like the guy needs a bit of show biz training. Then again, he just learned a big lesson.
It's best to draw your own designs like Charlie Benante then no one can sue you. I know playing guitar and singing and writing songs is hard enough but if you can do that then it's more than likely you can draw and paint.
Rumour has it he stole some of James's riffs
Awful lot of ass kissing in the comments,”oh I’m sure it wasn’t dave” “it was probably management” “usually…….” Y’all don’t know know Dave to well apparently,it’s exactly something he’d pull lmfao
Uhhh! Whats with people always needing credit? So this guy wants his name in the back of the book? I mean, sure pay the guy if he did it but credit isn't really needed. I have plenty of art that has been used. I dont need credit. Cant take credit to the grave with me. 🙄 Plus its too late. I have the album with the artwork so boo hoo!
Also- is this Megadeths same artist? "Come on Dave, gimme a break!"
"So ART, No PAY, So WHAT?"
