POP/ROCK - April 2, 1987

A judge will decide whether to summon Bruce Springsteen to Wyoming to testify in a song copyright case brought against a local bar by Springsteen, Ric Ocasek, Ackee Music Inc. and Van Halen Music. The musicians’ suit accuses Wanda Hegglund, owner of the Plains Trading Post Bar in Douglas, of copyright infringement. It alleges that a band she hired played five of the musicians’ songs without permission and seeks penalties of $250 to $10,000 for each of the five alleged infringements.
