What on earth are you talking about? This is a statement _against_ the torture in Guantanamo. They are suing to bring publicity to the issue.

> used our music without our knowledge and used it as an actual weapon against somebody

> And Key said band members were offended to learn that their music was played in the notorious prison to inflict damagd on detainees.

I guess it's a cultural thing (I'm not Anglo-Saxon) but for me, asking for money is not about being offended : it is being greedy.

If they pledged this money on a charity or something it would look entirely different.

They're never going to be awarded anything. The money isn't the point.

They will be doing this as a statement against the use of their work in this manner, and for the publicity that statement generates.

It's very unlikely they actually think "Hey, we have had our copyright violated and deserve compensation."

This isn't a money grab, that's not their style.
