"There were initial discussions for using "Pay Day" in the movie, but at some point, the discussions ceased and we assumed that it would not follow through. However, after the movie was released, we learned that the track had been used without permission, legal procedure, or contracts. We will be taking legal action against Sony Pictures as well as DFSB, the agency that had been carrying out the discussion regarding the use of the track. {SOURCE}

Dumbest shit ever since they can simply file with ASCAP and collect every bit they are due the normal way.
Nobody in Hollywood makes individual contracts to include music; they simply choose the music they want and pay fees to ASCAP and BMI. It's up to the artist to go to ASCAP and BMI and get their money.

I don't think we have herd the whole story here.
Many times these things have been licensed without the knowlage of the artist directly but it is more likely that it is a publicity stunt. Time will tell.... I would not pass judgement just yet. There is more to know. No major movie media does things like that "on purpose" because it normally cost them much more in the long run and I'm sure their attorney's have much more important things to do right now. However the music industry has been pretty good at stealing each others work and getting away with it for the most part as many are settled out of court after many years of battle. |

It doesn't make a difference what most artists do. Music wasn't licensed and now she is suing ;-)

Definitely a publicity stunt. Film and TV business have this thing/person called a Music Supervisor. I know a few. They always get "clearance."

It was a while ago but I think it basically works the same. If you bitch about a license fee then they will pay $300 to $1500 but most people are just going to sign the license because you don't want your song cut out because of budget. The ASCAP money is the real money so it's stupid to get cut out. People can interpret this stuff all they want to but only certain things make sense in practice. Don't ever bicker over a license fee for music in a film or television show, you are only jeopardizing the larger payout. Let's say Sony pays the suit but then remasters the movie for all other releases in the future and removes her song. For most people this is going to be a big loss, for Madonna it can be different because she can demand a huge license fee up front.
