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.

Dr. Dre was one of the prominent acts who first started having his fans thrown off Napster I.

Yeah, who was it who once said that ultimately there isn't a dime's worth of difference between Republicans and Democrats in the sense of party distinctions?
This idea of spending time and effort and expectation regarding party distinction (which many Americans still do) is so lame. But, then, lame is the operative word when it comes to politics, isn't it.
Not only that, many Americans are just gullible sheep trodding along with the flow of things (with their wool just waiting to be fleeced).

Cmon now its not copyright infringement! nor is it stealing! in the hiphop world its called sampling!!! LOL

". . . it's called sampling!"

Sounds good. I used to be a 'sampler', browsing songs to record off the radio onto my casette deck.

"Yeah, who was it who once said that ultimately there isn't a dime's worth of difference between Republicans and Democrats in the sense of party distinctions?"

Wasnt that talkshow host Larry Elder in his book The Ten Things You Can't Say In America?

Hmm, I wonder what the other nine things were.

Right on, Diogenes2!! Americans are lame, lazy and loud about it.. look at the rambling rants of the uninformed and convince me that intelligent change is about to happen.. sample, schmample, folks.. you KNOW it is ALL about the and that you don't see the connection between the corporation and the government is YOUR blindess.. I have been on dmusic for years now, and the same story gets regurgitated.. like you said, Diogenes.. "Not only that, many Americans are just gullible sheep trodding along with the flow of things (with their wool just waiting to be fleeced)."

Hiya, Code!

Thanks, Mary!

I always look forward to your posts.
"Americans are lame, lazy and loud" -- another gem to add to the myriads of clever things that you have written.

You also wrote about people not seeing the connection between the corporation and the government as being a form of blindness . . .

You're right on target again, as usual!
