That isn't right that they did that!!!!

I wonder if you buy the CD if it gives reference to it in the pamphlet?

Maybe thats why he was buying it?

It would have to give credit.

Considering he bought the album!

Then again, maybe not. I always skip Taco Grande. He might too

They might have given credit in the album's liner notes.

What? Original version?? Just hearing a few seconds of that was enough. It was terrible. How can they get away with calling that cover the original version?? I smell a lawsuit for sure!

i dont think Al will sue them. in that video it kinda seemed like....idk. but it didnt seem like he was REALLY mad about it. maybe annoyed. and i think he's too nice of a guy to sue them. i think he would just do something else. idk what. but...

I think if anything he'd just say, "Hey, that's my song." They, Disney/Pixar, probably don't want any kind of lawsuit, so they'd send some cash over. That way all court stuff wouldn't have to happen.

Honestly though, that's a horrendous version of the song. Completely and utterly horrible.

This is the best solution .. an attorney's letter (we call it a solicitor's letter here) ought to be enough to rectify any oversight, accidental or deliberate. I'm sure avoidance of adverse publicity would be a good incentive for Disney to cough up the dough

Do you guys really think that Disney/Pixar's legal team would allow Disney/Pixar to illegally release something. While it would have been the kind thing to do, I doubt that it's required by law to give credit in the pamphlet. All that really has to be done, is Disney/Pixar would have had to obtain a mechanical rights license, which isn't hard. It's been a while since I've looked in to Mechanical Rights licensing, but I've been working on a projects that requires it. I don't think permission has to be obtained from Al himself, but rather from The Harry Fox Agency, who I believe would pay Al royalties. If anybody knows more about this than I do, then feel free to add or take away from what I have said.
