we don't need no ... royalties

I was helping Diana and Ophira pack on Friday when a curious news blurb flashed on the CNN ticker.

Apparently, the kids who sang on Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall (it's Part II, right ?) are suing for overdue royalties.

We don’t need no education,
We don’t need no thought control,
No dark sarcasm in the classroom,
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!

The pupils from the 1979 fourth form music class at Islington Green School secretly recorded vocals after their teacher was approached by the band’s management. Now the 23 ex-pupils are suing for overdue session musician royalties, taking advantage of the Copyright Act 1997 to claim a percentage of the money from broadcasts.
