Sadly, I have no issue with these people losing “their life’s work”, since they didn’t care that they illegally co-opted another artists “life work” to play in the background without so much as credits. After all this, they could have just gotten an emi/ascap license and paid the money for royalties, which would have been the right thing to do, and they probably still would have made money on ads if they ran them. Instead, they will rail for years about how they’ve been wronged without acknowledging their misdeeds.
