Verizon Drops Bob Marley Ringtones

Verizon Wireless decided to drop Bob Marley's ringtones, ringbacks and pictures after being threatened legally by the Marley family for using his image and songs to promote their business without the family's consent.

Universal Music Group who are partnered with Verizon issued this statement and said, ""We are disappointed that the management of the Marley Estate has chosen to take such an extreme and meritless position that a customary promotional campaign highlighting the availability of Marley mastertones somehow constitutes an 'endorsement' of Verizon overall."

It is unclear whether the Marley family will continue to file a lawsuit against Verizon and UMG but their representative Chris Blackwell said, "they refuse to give the musicians the respect they deserve...I am infuriated that Verizon would go around the estate and initiate partnership with Universal Music Group."
