Bruce Springsteen Sues Bar!
Posted by Paul
BRUCE Springsteen is getting litigious!
Showing he’s The Boss, the rocker slapped the Connolly’s Pub & Restaurant with a copyright infringement lawsuit after a cover band played three of his songs.
The restaurant — which could have paid a $2,700 license fee — now could face a whopping $30,000 fine.
“He’s simply a songwriter with rights,” said Vincent Candilora, ASCAP senior vice president for licensing.
“We had been after them [Connolly's] for complying for over two years, so it’s not so much about who or where.”
A source later revealed, ”It’s absurd for him [Springsteen] to go after a little pub when he’s selling records and making dough.
“Bruce doesn’t need the $8 a month that he’d get from this band playing at Connolly’s.”
