Bono, remember we're all One

Bono One
Something that arrived in Bank of America's inbox a couple of days ago ......

By way of introduction, Universal Music Publishing International B.V. and Universal – PolyGram International Publishing, Inc. (collectively, “Universal”) are the exclusive publisher and administrator, respectively, for the world excluding the United Kingdom and Ireland, of all musical compositions to the extent written, owned and/or controlled by Paul Hewson p/k/a “Bono,” Dave Evans p/k/a “The Edge,” Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr., collectively p/k/a “U2,” including, without limitation, the musical composition entitled “One” (the “Composition”).

It has come to Universal's attention that Bank of America, N.A. (“BA”) has created a derivative work of the Composition to promote BA's business and, in connection therewith, BA has publicly performed, synchronized, reproduced and distributed the Composition during BA business meetings and in timed relation with a video that is available to the public on at least two (2) Internet Web Sites...

At least two? Maybe a slight underestimate there.

Guess Bono didn't get the joke :) And here's me thinking we're all One.

Can a lawyer cease and desist a cease and desist? I have no idea, but I guess we'll find out.
