mjzee Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Look, there are only so many musical notes, chords and riffs that a person can string together into a song. So over the course of decades, there's bound to be a little, er, borrowing here and there. Long before sampling made lawsuits the lingua franca that bonded so many disparate musicians together, artists were suing other musicians for plagiarism and copyright infringement. Lawsuits against hip hop groups are countless, but here are 11 rock groups who've been taken to court for plagiarism, from Radiohead to Coldplay to Avril Lavigne.

GA Russell Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks! I'll spend time later listening to them all. The only lawsuit of these that I was aware of was the Huey Lewis one. I guess we shouldn't be surprised to see Morris Levy's name come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
