Licensing. Redwin Wilchcombe composed, performed, and recorded a song called Tha Weedman at the request of Lil Jon, a member of Lil Jon the East Side Boyz (LJESB), for LJESB's album Kings of Crunk. Wilchcombe was not paid, but was given credit on the album as a producer. After the album had sold 2 million copies, Wilchcombe filed a suit against LJESB, alleging copyright infringement. The defendants claimed that they had a license to use the song. Do the facts support this claim? Explain. [Wilchcombe v. TeeVee Toons, Inc., 555 F.3d 949 (11th Cir. 2009)] (See page 161.)
