Verizon Wireless struck what was initially an exclusive deal with Verizon late last month allowing Verizon to sell cuts of Bob Marley songs for use as customized ringers on its mobile phones. The Marley estate objected, claiming Verizon failed to get permission from the singer's family before making use of his music and likeness on its Web site. The estate threatened to sue for trademark infringement. Despite the objections, however, the company resumed selling the ringtones Sept. 14.

Verizon Wireless resumed selling mobile phone ringtones Sept. 14 based on Bob Marley songs, despite objections from the estate of the late reggae music star to a licensing deal struck between the wireless carrier and recording company Universal Music Group.
Universal Music owns the rights to distribute some of the biggest hits by Marley and his band, The Wailers, including “I Shot the Sheriff,” “Buffalo Soldier” and “Redemption Song.”
