Roger Waters of the prog-rock band Pink Floyd says he received a request from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to use his song, "Another Brick in the Wall," for an Instagram advertisement. Waters had some choice words to share in response: "Fuck you. No fucking way."

but it's ok when Big Banana gives you money

(technically Rick Wright did this...not the whole band)

the real shame is Clare Torry got paid only £30 for that incredible and unforgettable vocal performance
at least in 2005 the band settled with Clare and she now gets royalties from 2005 on

I am glad Clare Torry sued and got paid but I don’t think the band did anything wrong… they asked her to step in a booth and wail away…she was hired as a typical backing vocalist .she ended up getting into it -going with it as the band asked her to do- and coming up with something original and it ended up becoming the song but am sure it didn’t occur to anyone at the time that she should get a co-write credit!! As I remember reading she came out of the booth and was very embarrassed and apologetic and the band told her it was great

An investigation by Michigan's Republican-led Senate Oversight Committee found no evidence of widespread voter fraud in 2020, and recommended that Michigan's attorney general investigate individuals who made false claims "for their own ends."
