I was told Warner Music Group were claiming it. I found a nice lawyer guy at Warners, very apologetic, promised to get it sorted, but all these months later it isn't."

Heres a hint, they will apologize, maybe give him some royalties.

 

But there's a snowballs chance in hell they will stand trial.
