STING and former THE POLICE bandmate STEWART COPELAND are locked in a battle over rights to the band's hit songs.
Copeland wants to remix a number of the band's tracks, but Sting, who wrote their most famous songs, is refusing to grant him the rights.
The feuding pair attended the Sundance Film Festival in Utah earlier this week (begs23JAN06), where Sting's wife TRUDIE STYLER and Copeland both screened their own films - Copeland's being a documentary about the band entitled EVERYONE STARES: THE POLICE INSIDE OUT.
