Very Sensitive to the Community

News agencies suing artists has become an infectious groove. The Arizona Daily Star filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the punk band, Awful Truth. In fact, the newspaper sued the band “because it used a slain police officer’s photo to illustrate its album.” The band allegedly used the photo to promote its album “Kill a cop for God.”

According to the blog Twenty Four Bit Music News the lead singer for the band stated:

“It’s a pretty serious picture, and the topic itself is, too. It’s really dark humor, and as much as anybody else, we don’t particularly like cops, so we made a song about it,” Stine said, adding that he refuses to apologize to anyone about the album cover.
