Brothers Robert and Aron Marderosian, professionally known as Heavy Young Heathens, filed a lawsuit Thursday saying that NBC, U.S. Figure Skating, and figure skaters Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier violated their copyrights by using their version of “House of the Rising Sun” at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. The brothers said Knierim and Frazier skated to their version of the traditional folk song, used in a trailer for the 2016 film “The Magnificent Seven” and a commercial for Ford Motor Co, without their permission, and also accused NBC of copyright infringement by broadcasting it.
