Coke settles with London band
From the Associated Press
Coca-Cola Co. has reached an agreement with an unsigned London ska band over the global soft drink giant’s use of the band’s material in TV ads.
The band, called 7 Seconds of Love, had argued that Coke used its video and song “Ninja” without permission in a South American commercial for Coca-Cola Light.
Coke agreed this week to an out-of-court settlement. The ads have been taken off the air, and the band retains all the rights. The amount of the financial settlement wasn’t disclosed.
