"A copyright claim isn't the issue for the Romantics. The band's attorneys tell the Detroit Free Press that Activision properly secured permission to use "What I Like About You," allowing it to record a cover version.

But they say by creating an imitation so much like the Romantics' original, the California-based company infringed on the group's rights to its own likeness."

What?

Why are they holding Guitar Hero 3 if they're suing over Guitar Hero Encore: Rock the 80's?
