I ran across this article today.

Music group Heavy Young Heathens filed a lawsuit on Thursday against NBC, U.S. Figure Skating and figure skating pair Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier, saying their copyright for the song "House of the Rising Sun" was violated when the pair used it for their short program earlier this week.

I've never heard of any skaters being sued for music copyright issue before.

These morons, who have undoubtedly made a mint from covering the hits of others should take a lesson from Elton John and Phillip Glass... Waiting for the judge to toss this out of court as a frivolous lawsuit.

Shouldn’t it be Heavy Young Imbeciles?

House of the Rising sun is a traditional song in the public domain- with roots that go back to at least the nineteenth century. It's not like the group composed it- they covered it.
