Yoon Mi Rae is set to sue Sony over the inclusion of her song "Touch Love" in The Interview, which, she says, Sony failed to license for the film.
Touch Love was #1 on the Korean charts last September. Yoon Mi Rae says that Sony approached her for a license to the song, but when they failed to return her phone calls and she assumed they'd abandoned the idea.
"There were initial discussions for using 'Pay Day' in the movie, but at some point, the discussions ceased and we assumed that it would not follow through," Feel Ghood Music says.
"However, after the movie was released, we learned that the track had been used without permission, legal procedure, or contracts."
Sony, who are already facing a world of pain following the hacking and near destruction of their IT systems in recent weeks, will now face a copyright infringement lawsuit over the unauthorized use of the ironically named 'Pay Day'.
"We will be taking legal action against Sony Pictures as well as DFSB, the agency that had been carrying out the discussion regarding the use of the track," the label says.
