Phrothing Phaggot Phelps Sued by Sony

Hey!  I'm beginning to like Sony!

The Rev. Fred Phelps' group known for picketing soldiers' funerals around the country has been accused by a music company of violating copyright laws.

Sony/ATV Music Publishing wrote Phelps, telling him to stop what it called unauthorized use of the song "Holding Out for a Hero."

Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church produced a parody it calls "There Are No Heroes," which is on the Internet. Phelps responded Friday in a letter to the Sony saying the video is a parody and not covered by copyright laws.

Last year, another music company accused Phelps of infringing on the song "We Are the World" with a parody it called "God Hates the World."

I know this is so much tamer than what that frothing piece of lunatic shit deserves.  A big part of me wishes that the court settlement against Phelps and his psychotic, inbred crew involved a rusty fork and some battery acid, but I'll take what I can get.
