The thing is, it really is a direct rip-off. I'd have sued too!
But in today's song market it seems really strange to sue, because today's
music is so dirivative! And then using other musician's music even to the
point where we are actually USED to hearing stolen music. We expect it!
Dubbing and using sound clips is normal now... yesterday my neighbor was
sampling James Brown.. that's wrong... like sampling the beatles...
But then I like Beck so I better shut up
