That Roy Wood should get royalties for his song "Flowers in the Rain"

In 1967 the first record to be played on the new Radio station Radio 1 was Flowers in the Rain by the Move. However, due to a promotional stunt, for the record—typical of the band's manager Tony Secunda a postcard was released with a cartoon of a naked Harold Wilson linking him to his secretary. Wilson sued, and the High Court ordered that all royalties from the song were donated to a charity of Wilson's choice. This legal arrangement remains in force to this day and is thought to have cost the group millions of pounds in royalties over the years. It seems an injustice that the group should be punished for their manager's foolish stunt.
