The Romantics (80’s Band) Suing Activision For GH for ‘likeness’

The Romantics, a band from the 80’s, are suing Activision for including their song, “What I Like About You.” in Guitar Hero Encore: Rock the 80’s. The song featured in the game was a cover of the original song(this part was legally done); however, the Romantics are suing that the cover was too much like their own song resulting in the loss of their ‘likeness’. Don’t ask me. I always thought that was the goal of a good cover. Activision hasn’t responded yet to the suit, but they will probably be coming out full force as to not spark any more copy-cat suits from others.
