Its hard to say exactly what this lawsuit is all about. Its not a lawsuit on public performance… I don’t think it is anyway. From what I read it sound more like BMI is suing T-Mobile for selling ring tones without getting permission to do so. Or that a customers ring tone is stored on a server rather than on the phone, so I guess they might be arguing that the service should require a license? The only one that would really make sense is that they didn’t pay them for selling the ring tone, if its either of the other two BMI can piss off and stop being greedy little bitches.
