Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland have sent an SOS to the courts, demanding Sting pay up .

Sting's former Police bandmates claim that the bass player-singer is unjustly hoarding the royalties to the band's hit song "Every Breath You Take."

Across the band's 11-year history, they have never produced a more successful song than this hit. Nearly four decades after their tragic breakup, the song remains their most influential work. The beloved rock track spent eight weeks at the top of the chart when it was released in 1983. The slow romantic jam with a creepy stalker undertone is undeniably a huge moneymaker for the group, but the dispute goes beyond money. Copeland and Summers want to be included in the legacy of the hit as songwriters and collaborators.
