\n\tAfter he was \u201cbetrayed\u201d and fired by the band, Niven admits that he signed a \u201cbuy out\u201d agreement covering the terms of his exit. He says it contained a \u201cprivacy\/confidentiality\u201d provision that required both<\/em> sides to avoid sharing information about the other learned during their long partnership.<\/p>\n\n\tBut Niven says that in the years since, GNR members have made \u201cmany references\u201d to him, including \u201cinflammatory or even defamatory\u201d ones. He specifically cites several examples, including a 2008 magazine interview in which Rose suggested that Niven was \u201calways tryin\u2019 to convince someone they should fire me\u201d and was seeking a \u201ca personal pay day\u201d from their record label.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cMembers of GNR have mentioned Niven, sometimes in a derogatory [way], starting at least as far back 1991,\u201d his lawyers write. \u201cNiven\u2019s comments about the band are thus justified by the agreement, which allows him to comment on matters raised by the band first.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tHe also claims the agreement is void for an even simpler reason: That Hudson, McKagan and Stradlin signed the deal, but that Axl himself never did so: \u201cIt is unclear who is attempting to enforce the agreement now, and whether they have standing to do so,\u201d his attorneys say. \u201cRose did not sign the agreement, and one signatory (Stradlin) has remained silent.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tIn technical terms, Niven is seeking a \u201cdeclaratory judgment\u201d that the 1991 contract is unenforceable, or that he is not violating the terms of it by releasing his book. He is also suing the band for damages over accusations that it \u201cintimidated\u201d his publisher into delaying the books release.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cDefendants\u2019 interference has resulted in damages to Niven from lost sales and lost reputation in the market for his book and life story, only a fraction of which has anything to do with Defendants\u2019 rock group,\u201d he says. \u201cIndividual advance orders have been cancelled. The books have incurred storage fees. Niven\u2019s momentum in the press has been destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
