Hey! I’m beginning to like Sony!
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.”
I know this is so much tamer than what that frothing piece of lunatic shit deserves. A big part of me wishes that the court settlement against Phelps and his psychotic, inbred crew involved a rusty fork and some battery acid, but I’ll take what I can get.
