Media giant SONY is making an unfriendly play into the friendly skies of United Airlines.
According to a story in the Chicago Tribune, the Japanese-owned firm has launched a lawsuit against United for violating copyright of selected content. The litigation specifically alleges that United has failed to compensate SONY for inflight playing of music and video for which the media company is the rights holder.
It's hard to believe SONY could have been unaware of United's activities. Surely SONY employees have booked United flights, during which they listened to or watched their company's products. The lawsuit seems like a legal rendition of Captain Reynaud discovering gambling at Rick's Cafe Americain.
Shocking -- just shocking -- wouldn't you say?
