ROCKERS CLAIM THEY'VE BEEN SHORTCHANGED BY GRAND THEFT AUTO IV

New York punk rockers LEEWAY have accused the makers of videogame sensation GRAND THEFT AUTO IV of failing to pay out for the use of their songs on the soundtrack.
Leeway join Kanye West, The Who, Bob Marley and Busta Rhymes, among the artiists whose music appears on the videogame, which is expected to make $400 million (GBP200 million) in worldwide sales.
Lead singer Ed Sutton claims the band signed a "very simple" licensing agreement last year (07) and were due to receive $2,500 (GBP1,250) within 60 days - but it never arrived.
He tells the New York Post, "We still haven't gotten paid and they're still making excuses. Over 200 artists recorded songs for them and they think they can dismiss us."
