The former drummer for the defunct rock band Ink & Dagger has filed a copyright-infringement lawsuit against Microsoft Corp., alleging that the company improperly included three of the band's songs in the "Amped" snowboarding video game for the Xbox console. In a court filing in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, the drummer, Ryan McLaughlin, says he is "outraged that my artistic integrity has been so brazenly violated."
Microsoft spokesman Jack Evans said the company is reviewing the situation. "Microsoft respects intellectual-property rights and enters into licensing agreements for music and media in our games and other products," Evans said.
