In useless lawsuit news the 80’s one hit wonder The Romantics lost there lawsuit to have Guitar Hero Encore sales halted. Activision’s great year just seems to be getting better and better with the favorable ruling. There is no ruling yet on whether or not they will have to pay any royalties or not to the band.
In case you don’t remember the band was claiming that the “cover version” of their song “What I Like About You” was to close to the original. If The Romantics were just trying to get some fresh press, that’s about all they’ve gotten so far, then job well done guys.
Also in Activision news their little tiff with Rock Band and Harmonix seems to be a matter of money. Activision said they would release the patch to make their guitars work with Rock Band basically if they get paid. Oh the power of the almighty dollar.
