Breaking Benjamin Legal Controversy

In May 2011, Burnley fired bandmates Fink and Klepaski. Shortly after, a dispute over the new version of "Blow Me Away" went public. Burnley gave his side of the dispute in a June court filing, saying Fink and Klepaski made unilateral and unauthorized decisions on behalf of the band, such as giving permission in May for the remixing of "Blow Me Away".[22] Burnley seeks at least $250,000 and the exclusive right to the "Breaking Benjamin" name.[23] [24] Burnley has stated he plans to revive the band when the lawsuit is settled.
