Pictures: Alvin and the Chipmunks Get Sued
The brains behind “Alvin and the Chipmunks” has reportedly been had by Capitol Records and now they’re filing suit. A lawsuit has been filed by Bagdasarian Productions against Capitol saying that the record company used a number of Chipmunk songs without permission. In 1968, creator Ross Bagdasarian made an agreement with Capitol stating that they had recording rights to the music and that’s it. Capitol allegedly pilfered the music by making money in movies and other ventures outside the recording industry.

Why take so long to sue? According to the suit, shortly after Ross made the agreement, he moved on from the project and then died suddenly in 1972. The family only saw the agreement in 2007.
