Dr. Dre sued for copyright infringement

[method77]

The track which was Dr Dre produced featured singer Blige and rapper Eve. The lawsuit is surprisingly coming from the people who own the rights to Madonna’s ‘Holiday’. Even though the Madge track was made twenty odd years ago the lawyer’s state the copyright has been breached.

Celebrity Justice has reported the publishing company claims the songs are just too similar, Judith Finell the top musicologist has compared them and declares, "Both the pitches and the rhythms sound closely related. I don’t think they’re identical, because Madonna’s song is in what we call ‘major key’ and Mary J Blige’s song is in a minor key." Both parties had no comment on the matter. If the case goes to court the three music stars could face loosing up to $15 million to the plaintiffs.

This is worth noting if for nothing else than he was one of the biggest opponents of Napster.

Contrary to Dr Dre, Suge Knight isnt bothered by filesharing - he sees it as another promotional aspect

Eminem and the Christian Coalition

" The MGM vs. Grokster file-sharing case is making some very strange bedfellows. The Christian Coalition of America is lining up with P. Diddy, Eminem, and 50 Cent, and the Bush administration is supporting the Hollywood elites. They have one common goal: to get the highest court in the land to overturn the lower court decision that favored file-sharers. "

Looks like all the rats stick together. <_>

it`s a wonder more rappers aren`t slapped for illegal sampling of copyright songs..not to mention the fact that when they do sample them for their own musical style it usually destroys the idea and concept behind the original song....... <_>

Except he's a piece of shit thug.

Didn't he murder someone too? I'm not sure on that, but I think so.

No. The conspiratorialists have tried to implicate him in the Biggie Small/Tupac Muders, but he did neither.

Then the Christian Coalition are no longer Christians. P. Diddy, Eminem, $0.50 and Bush are all in violation of many many many many many rules of Christianity. They even violate the 10 commandments often.

Ok, I’ll downgrade him from “murderer” unworthy of respect by any human being with compassion and integrity to "still violent asshole" unworthy of respect by any human being with compassion and integrity.

This is subject to change. I don’t underestimate that he’ll with be charged and convicted of murder in the near future (relating to past or future crimes).

Who says they ever were?
