INDIANAPOLIS -- A music licensing agency that represents singers such as Sheryl Crow and Dolly Parton has filed a federal copyright lawsuit that could silence karaoke nights in central Indiana.



In a lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis, Broadcast Music Inc. alleges an eastside bar violated copyright laws by hosting karaoke and live music shows without paying licensing fees to use popular songs.

If every member of the RIAA and BMI dropped dead today, I'd call for a new national holiday to be enacted (inacted? sp?).
