Hugo, Bennigan’s has the worst. My college girlfriend worked there and that song tortured me.

IMHO, the lawyers deserve the money. I think $4.5 million is very reasonable. Unlike some class actions where consumers get little benefit, this one gives retroactive payment as well as a shield for prospective use.

I disliked the boot camp cadence some restaurants came up with to avoid “happy birthday” copyright charges. The lawyers who got this copyright thrown out deserve the contingency fee.

We can sing at birthdays, again! Ain’t The Law wonderful? Now, if there’d be a settlement for “Row, row, row your boat” I’d feel guilt free munching my Smoors around the campfire.
