i was shocked when i read the news paper the mirror this morning
and there is a load of these artists who have copyright issues
OASIS, used the melody from I'D LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD TO SING
and paid out £300.000
VANILLA ICE, used the riff from queens under pressure, for ice ice baby
paid undisclosed fee out of court
GEORGE HARRISON, my sweet lord used the melody from he's so fine by the chiffons
paid out £392.000
this has been going on for a long time
but to me seems like you can use the other artist material, make a fortune
then just give then some of it, no more said
even mike tysons tattoo on his face
in hangover two a guy wakes up with the same tattoo as mike tyson who is in the film
but the guy who owns the copyright on the image sued warner bros it was amicably resolved
