#copyright...this could be the end folks...or is it? Case Number 11. I am having way too much fun discovering all of this info..big-ups to @christineb @shiningsun2k and @debutch for following along and being ohhh so complimentary to my thread...This will also be a #funkyfriday and to stretch the rules a bit #jessjam, yes because he is Brazillian - I am cheating I know...but this case was simple. One of Rod Stewart's biggest hits "Do you think I'm sexy"from 1978, borrowed more than a little bit from this song released in 1972...after Ben sued, Rod Stewart agreed to donate a PERCENTAGE of the proceeds from the single to UNICEF. In his Autobiography Stewart wrote of the incident: "Clearly the Melody had lodged itself in my memory and resurfaced - unconscious plagiarism, plain and simple" How nice, a very flowery sentence to describe THEFT, plain and simple. Thanks Jess for original recording (below).
