More from the pop courts, potentially, and Arcade Fire may launch legal proceedings against Fox TV after it screened an advert for the NFL during this weekend's much watched Superbowl that featured their song 'No Cars Go'. The band said they did not licence the use of song for the ad, and that their lawyers are looking into it. Whether Fox would be the primary targets of that lawsuit, or whether they'd really want to go after the NFL or their ad agency, I'm not sure, though it being US litigation it would probably involve suing everyone with any vague connection to the advert. Whether legal action will actually follow remains to be seen.
