Microsoft is being taken to court for music copyright infringement. The drummer of the now defunct punk band Ink & Dagger claims the 'Soft used three of their songs for the snowboarding game Amped without obtaining permission. Ryan McLaughlin, the band's sticksman, told the U.S. District Court that he is "outraged that his artistic integrity has been so brazenly violated."

Uh, am I missing something? Amped went on sale, what, four years ago. And the dude is suing Microsoft now? Good thing he copyrighted his band's songs in June this year. Otherwise, this retarded lawsuit would look truly pointless.
