Tom Waits fails in trying to stop a french show using his songs

Tom Waits has lost a court case trying to stop the french production On Achève Bien les Anges, claiming the Zingaro company did not have permission to use his work.

The ruling does not affect a separate case Waits is bringing against the theatre for using his work without his permission.

J’ai le sentiment que quelqu’un m’a fait les poches pendant que je tournais la tête et c’est désagréable.
I've got the feeling somebody went through my pockets when I had my head turned and it's disagreeable.

He failed in the first law suit, but there's a second one coming up.

The title of this post is so negative - it's upsetting to see "TW fails" when I check in every morning. Plus, he didn't fail, the law failed him.
