Buy: Hall & Oates Doing Whatever They Want

Hall and Oates’s hit song, “Maneater” was covered or something by this unidentified singer songwriter. So what does Hall and Oates do?

Sue their publisher. That’s right, not the actual theif, but a company that will actually have money to pay out. Smart!

Warner Chappell Music are accused of breaching their contract by failing to protect against copyright infringement.

A company spokeswoman said the case was “completely without merit”. (source)

That’s right Daryl and John! Show them that you can’t for that, NO CAN DO! So what is this top chartin’, life affirming, half North Penn graduate, Hall of Fame duo trying to get?

The US singers are seeking an unspecified amount in damages and a termination of their contract with the publishing company.

Zing!
