Earlier on the news, I heard that the family of the original writer of the song ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’ have won the (6 year) battle to regain the copyrights of that song. This struck me as good news, or maybe I should say, good for the family. It’s unknown how many millions will go to the family, but looking at this list of covers, it might be quite a bit. The PBS showed (and produced) a documentary about the story, and (of course) Wikipedia has some other interesting facts.
