Def Leppard's Digital Revenge

Like Squeeze and ELO's Jeff Lynne, the '80s mega band is rerecording its hits to sell online -- infuriating its label in the process.

Five wide-eyed lads from England form a band in the image of their heroes Led Zeppelin, Queen and AC/DC, go on to sell 100 million albums, tour the world on the back of a dozen hit singles and end up feeling screwed by their record company out of royalties.
