Submission + - Activision Sued Over "Guitar Hero" Cover (cnn.com)

Hangin10 writes: "CNN is reporting that "The Romantics have filed a federal lawsuit against Activision Inc., the maker of "Guitar Hero," saying the popular video game infringes on the band's rights by featuring a soundalike recording of its 1980 hit "What I Like About You." The odd thing here is that Activision bought the right to record a cover version, but The Romantics are suing them for making it too similar to the original. An injunction against sales, and unspecified damages are being sought in the suit."
