Taylor Swift suing bar

Posted Nov. 19, 2009 -- Country sensation Taylor Swift is suing the owners of a bar in Idaho for allegedly playing her songs without permission. The "Love Story" hitmaker has teamed up with Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), the organization which collects license... more fees on behalf of songwriters and distributes them as royalties, to file a copyright infringement lawsuit against The Sports Cellar venue. The legal action comes after BMI representatives allegedly discovered that Swift's hits were being used to entertain revellers even though the bar's owners had failed to obtain a proper music licence. According to TMZ.com, Swift and BMI bosses are seeking unspecified damages. (WENN)
