Jonathan Coulton Song Used By Glee Without Permission
FunPika writes "Jonathan Coulton, who is known for songs such as "Code Monkey", is claiming that his cover of "Baby Got Back" was used without permission on Glee, a television show aired by Fox Broadcasting Company. When the Glee version appeared on YouTube last week, Coulton suspected that it sounded similar to his cover, and several of his fans confirmed this by analyzing the two tracks. Despite Coulton contacting Fox, they continued with airing the episode and have placed the song on sale in iTunes."
His songs are pretty terrible so it makes sense that they would show up on a terrible show like Glee.
You mean the average joe on youtube who licenses a song to make a cover of it, and then gets mad when somebody else also licenses the same song to make a cover of it, which in his opinion sounds too similar to his own cover?
