American Idol Producers Sued Over Royalties Dispute
6/14/08
Officials at America's leading musicians' union have filed a lawsuit
against hit talent show American Idol over royalties payments.
The American Federation of Musicians claims the show's producers
violated a collective bargaining agreement by failing to pay musicians
in the program's house band royalties for rebroadcasts of episodes.
The union bosses also claim they were not informed of plans to use their
members to re-record new music for season highlights.
