Copyright Cutthroats: Movie giant forces pub to fork out big bucks for playing old song
Copyright laws are supposed to provide individuals and companies with restricted rights over their songs, books, movies, etc. This is a good case of a corporation getting overly aggressive. They can't possibly win in court, but they'll threaten a small business owner who can't afford the cost of going to court. This kind of legal bullying should be illegal.
