I'm waiting for Toni Basil to follow suit. Has anyone else ever ripped off two songs at once?

 

[Coltrane]

Its about time she got sued for something.

 

[velogreg]

.....not a surprise.

 

[Jeff Guidry]

And I suppose that the only way to hear the Rubinoos original is by buying it from iTunes? I sense a new way to breathe life into a dead career........

It's rock, people. Everybody steals from everybody else. All of these pointless lawsuits smell of self promotion to me. We need a loser pays system to kill this BS off.......

David Bowie vs. Vanilla Ice -- who were you rooting for?

I'm just waiting for The Winstons to cash in on every time anyone has ever sold a song with the amen break in it. They'd be billionaires!

 

[Rock&Roll Ninja]

Maybe Porsche can sue Toby Keith next.....

Back on topic: Yeah, thats a fairy obvious knock-off. Why didn't Avril just call it a remake from the get-go. Not like 95% of all music isn't just covers now anyway.

Neither. I didn't really care.

 

[krmathis]

She deserved it!
Ripping off tunes is certainly not the way to go.

So would the Beatles if they copyrighted the line "yea, yea, yea". The most ridiculous lyrics ever and still bands use it when they can't come up with anything to rhyme with their other silly lyrics.

Of which, Avril is the guiltiest of all.

 

[Jeff Guidry]

The guiltiest, huh? Who is second most guilty?

I suggest you read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avril_Lavigne

 

[Daryn Alexander]

I saw this earlier. Go to www.rubinoos.com to hear the samples of Avril's, theirs, and various covers.
