Police accused of breaking copyright laws
Lancashire Police may have to pay substantial damages after the Performing Rights Society accused them of breaking copyright laws.
The PRS claim that the force have been playing music in their stations, parties and staff gyms and to callers on the phones without possessing the correct license.
The copyright organisation has now taken the matter to the High Court in London, asking for damages and an injunction after Lancashire Police, along with 11 other police forces, refused to pay them.
A license to play music may be needed if music is audible to others, which constitutes a public performance in the eyes of the PRS.
Ars Technica reports that the PRS demanded �200,000 of damages from Kwik-Fit in 2007 because of the volume of some of their mechanics' radios.

Music Legend Bo Diddley Dies At 79
Legendary music figure Bo Diddley died Monday of heart failure at his home in Archer, FL at age 79. Diddley, often considered one of the founders of rock 'n' roll, had often bitterly complained that other musicians -- most notably, The Rolling Stones -- had become rich covering his music, while he was relegated to small nightclub venues and was shunned by television producers. He suggested that television networks showed undisguised favoritism to white performers. But the Stones' Keith Richards shot back that Diddley's problem was that he and his music had failed to evolve and that he had continued to live on past laurels. On Monday, however, the Stones' frontman, Mick Jagger, issued a statement saying that Diddley "was an enormous force in music and was a big influence on The Rolling Stones. ... We learned a lot from him."

50 Cent 'Really Excited' By 'Blood On The Sand'; Video Game's Music, Love-Interest Details Revealed
NEW YORK — Not one demonstration or interview about 50 Cent's new video game has gone by without a developer mentioning that "50 Cent: Blood on the Sand" is going to be better than the last one.
It's important for the game's creators to separate the new game, a high-score-focused action adventure set in the Middle East, from the high-selling but critically bashed first 50 game. They wanted the press and gamers to know the difference. And they hoped — big time — that 50 would too.
"I was in fear that he wouldn't be pleased," the game's producer Aaron Blean said during a demonstration of the game on Tuesday. He said that 50 was shown a version of the game several weeks ago. "He watched it at least three times and was really excited," Blean said. "He recognized the game was looking better than the first one."
50 has told MTV News that he has high hopes, and the people around him seem to be rallying. Blean mentioned that Tony Yayo, who is one of three G-Unit members who fight at 50's side in the game, recently remarked that "Blood on the Sand" is "looking as good as 'Gears of War.' "
Since the last update, the developers can now talk about music plans for the game. And how about a love interest?
For music, Blean revealed that 50 and G-Unit are contributing 19 exclusive tracks to the game, all featuring Fif. The game is also in the process of being scored by Swizz Beatz. "He'd provided us with over an hour's worth of score already," Blean said. The developers send the producer footage of the game, and he puts together the tracks.
Blean didn't reveal too much about the love interest, but she's apparently a fictional character with a twist that 50 thought up: "His idea was to not just have a female character be a love interest but someone he would lose trust in." She didn't appear in the demo Blean showed MTV News, but it sounds like she will play a prominent role in the game, starting out as an agent of 50's enemies.
What Blean showed of the game was similar to what we glimpsed in April. A heavily armed 50 Cent is on a quest for payback in the Middle East, trying to reclaim some valuables that were stolen from him. The game is technically a third-person shooter, and it's designed to play up gaming's arcade roots. Everything 50 successfully shoots generates points that get tallied into a score. Trickier shots and nastier kills net more points. Players can purchase and arm 50 with a selection of taunts that, if delivered at the right time, will increase point values even more. (We didn't hear any taunts that we could write here without violating MTV's language standards.)
The game will have more than 20 levels and is designed for a second player to drop in and out, assisting the main player as a G-Unit ally. "50 Cent: Blood on the Sand" is developed by Swordfish Studios. It's slated for release this fall on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Jay-Z Jumps On Upbeat Mariah Carey Remix, Mature Usher Song For Jermaine Dupri
Jermaine Dupri made the most of some recent time in the studio with Jay-Z, having Hov lay guest vocals for an Usher track and a Mariah Carey remix.
The Carey remix is a reworking of "Bye Bye," the second single from her E=MC2 LP. On the original, Mariah sings about losing family members, but JD hints that the remix will be more upbeat.
"The remix for the Mariah record is crazy," Dupri said Friday (April 18). "Young Hov and Mariah crank it up, and myself, JD — a.k.a. Barry Bonds — cleans up."
When asked if it was awkward to remix such a melancholy song, Dupri said we'll forget about the sad sentiments.
Just last week, Jermaine leaked footage online, in which Jay-Z paid a visit to the studio after the Atlanta stop of the Heart of the City Tour. Jay, Usher, Dupri and Anthony Hamilton were seen laughing it up and promising a hit record.
"It's a Jay-Z and Usher record produced by me," the mogul said. "It's about their lives right now. They talk about their past relationships and how they are where they are now."
"The Best Thing" will be featured on Usher's May 27 release, Here I Stand.
"It's cool," the producer said. "They not really sappy. It's not a sappy song. Usher's album is more about teaching men [that] at some point, you gotta grow up. And growing up is respecting a woman and having a woman in your life and taking care of your woman. That's his definition of growing up. A lot of other n---as have a different definition. That's his definition of becoming a man, taking care of home. This song is kinda like that. It's a responsible type of record. When that girl you settled down with, she leaves you. You realize you lost the best thing that ever happened to you.
"The hardest part about this Usher album is that I'm not involved in the record-company process," he added. "This is the first album where we're not in charge of who picks the singles. So I can't speak on that part of it. I would hope it would be the next single. It feels like it should be. Usher left the studio saying it was the next single. But he also told y'all weeks ago [that] 'Moving Mountains' was the next single. Lyric-wise, hearing Jay-Z say what he's saying and Usher saying what he's saying, people wanna hear this. I could tell you that. N---as wanna hear that."
Another Dupri remix on the horizon is O'Neal McKnight's "Check Your Coat." No, Jay-Z does not appear, but Greg Nice raps on the song. Dupri even threw his own flavor on there as well.
