By Sony!
I am no fan of either Phelps or Sony. I hope they both have to spend alot of money and it hurts them both. Still, I have to say I am pleased to see anyone interfering with that hateful bastard. Fred Phelps' church sued by Sony over copyright laws At issue is the song called "Holding out for a Hero." TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - The Rev. Fred Phelps' group known for picketing soldiers' funerals around the country has been accused by a music company of violating copyright laws. Sony/ATV Music Publishing wrote Phelps, telling him to stop what it called unauthorized use of the song "Holding Out for a Hero." Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church produced a parody it calls "There Are No Heroes," which is on the Internet. Phelps responded Friday in a letter to the Sony saying the video is a parody and not covered by copyright laws. Last year, another music company accused Phelps of infringing on the song "We Are the World" with a parody it called "God Hates the World." |
