Whoa, that should put a chill in the music library world!

It’s interesting they’re suing the end user and not the library that provided the track. I guess the National Party has deeper pockets. Maybe that’s why it went to trial. The defendant could be saying, “hey it’s not our fault, we paid for a license for the right to use the track. How were we to know…”

It’s a direct rip off of “Lose Yourself”. I just listened back to back, first the spot, then the actual song. Eminem wins this case in my mind.

Mmm,that’s why i never liked the idea of doing “soundalikes”.
Some libraries and RF sites encourage artists to do them but to me,it sounds like walking on thin ice.
