10/27: Drummer Sues Microsoft

Ex-Ink & Dagger sues Microsoft:
Why would someone "despise" video games? I mean, did they kill a family member or something? Seriously, such a harsh emotion for such an unimportant thing... anyway, that's no reflection on his case. If MS was in the wrong, they'll have to pay for it.

McLaughlin, 28, of Bensalem, filed suit in federal court Monday, alleging copyright infringement. He claims Bill Gates' corporation used three songs from the band's [Ink & Dagger] 1998 CD "The Fine Art of Original Sin," on a snowboarding video game, "Amped," for Microsoft's XBOX system, without the band's consent. ...
McLaughlin, who now works construction and isn't making music, says he "despises" video games and feels it "incredibly rude" of Microsoft not to ask permission from his band to use the tracks. "They had no legal right to do it," he says.
