Music to Sweat By: Publishing companies for Prince and Guns N’ Roses want a Philadelphia health club to pay up for the use of three songs, or set their patrons sweating to some other exercise music. Controversy Music, Guns N’ Roses Music and Jobete Music Co. said in a copyright lawsuit that the Lancaster County Racquetball & Health Club failed to get license agreements for use of three songs on Aug. 5. The songs were the Prince hit “Round and Round,” “November Rain” by Guns N’ Roses and the Motown hit “I’ll Be There,” published by Jobete. The lawsuit seeks at least $1,500 in damages and no more than $60,000.
