...PsyOps played bad, but loud, rock over the loudspeakers until he surrendered nine days later.

I hope they get what they're asking for.

Worlock, from the album Rabies, is my favorite. I hope they get their money.

I am going to listen to it now.

Worlock is awesome.

from about 10 feet away is still one of the highlights of my musical life experience. I suppose if they wanted to torture me by playing music they'd be getting sued by One Direction or Big Time Rush.

I don't think they send you an itemized list of exactly where and when each of your songs was played when they pay royalty checks.

Highly unlikely they got royalties.

A Pentagon spokesman said Thursday that the DefenseDepartment knows nothing about a Canadian rock band's claim for compensation for the use of its music during interrogations at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The Vancouver-based band Skinny Puppy says it sent the invoice for $666,000 for "musical services" after learning that its music had been played at extreme volume at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay.

Keyboardist Cevin Key said the band found out from a fan, who was a former Guantanamo Bay guard, that its music was played in the military prison where top terrorism suspects have been held.

Key told Canada's CTV News that band members were offended to find out that their music had been used "as an actual weapon against somebody."

From the article:
A Pentagon spokesman told DPA that the Defense Department had not received an invoice from the band, and said, "I'm not even sure how, functionally, how such a process might work."

The spokesman said the United States was committed to ensuring detainees are treated humanely in all circumstances, consistent with treaty obligations and U.S.law and policy.

Well Mr. Pentagon Spokesman, they are called royalty payments. When you use recorded, copyrighted material for a public performance (i.e. playing the music over loudspeakers in the Guantanamo Bay prison) then the party playing the sound recording pays the artist a small amount each time it is played. Here is a link to the US copyright law regarding this matter:
