Chart Attack reports that Slash and Duff McKagan, former members of Guns ‘n’ Roses, have sued their former bandleader, Axl Rose. Slash and Duff are accusing Mr Rose of diverting royalties from publishing rights from the band’s songs to a company he owns. Axl Rose’s lawyers (via Businesswire) have attributed the misdistribution of royalties to a clerical error by ASCAP (the entity that collects money for US songwriters).
The IPKat says thank goodness he’s more of a rock ‘n’ roll fan.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
