The owner of the Peanuts theme song and other music from the Charlie Brown franchise is going on the legal offensive, filing four copyright lawsuits Wednesday (May 20) over alleged unauthorized uses of Vince Guaraldi‘s iconic jazz tracks.
In one case, Lee Mendelson Film Productions (LMFP) accused a video game company called GameMill Entertainment of creating unlicensed songs that “mimicked and evoked” Guaraldi’s songs for an otherwise-licensed Peanuts game.
