It appears that The Romantics have decided to [URL=http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=16342]sue Activision over the cover version of their song[/URL] "What I Like About You." The problem isn't that Activision failed to get the proper licensing, they did, it is that the cover is [B]too closely resembles the original[/B].

:eek:

Can you believe? They feel that since the cover sounds too much like them, it infringes on the group’s rights to its own likeness.

If they get their way, the expansion pack it comes bundled on will have to be recalled and then re-released without the infringing song.

Sucks for Activision.
