Music Companies Suing 'Ellen'
The Ellen DeGeneres Show is being sued by a number of record labels, including Sony, Warner Bros., and Motown, for unauthorized use of music in a segment on the program in which the host dances to her desk. What do you think?
Martin Speck,
Operations Manager
"Well, I guess we'll just have to get used to Ellen dancing to her desk to 'The Battle Hymn Of The Republic' from now on."
Liz Fish,
Accupuncturist
"They have to send a message to our middle-aged generation that it's not okay to steal music."
Richard Williams,
Quality Assurance Analyst
"You can't sue people for dancing unless that dance results in murder, as per the precedent set in 1961 by Sharks v. Jets, 1961."
