Why Vancouver band Skinny Puppy demands compensation after learning music used for Guantanamo Bay torture

Vancouver band Skinny Puppy demands compensation after learning music used for Guantanamo Bay torture.

Industrial rock band Skinny Puppy sent an invoice to the U.S. military for allegedly using its music in Guantanamo Bay, and says it was “coached” in ways to potentially sue the U.S. Department of Defense for using its material illegally. The band is now demanding $666,000 in compensation.

Is it okay to use music as torture?
