in a 49-page complaint filed last month, The Knack’s front man Doug Fieger and lead guitarist Berton Averre claim that Run DMC illegally copied parts of their 1978 hit “My Sharona” into Run DMC’s 1986 hit “It’s Tricky.” Although the statute of limitations for copyright infringement is three years, Fieger and Averre claim they had never heard Run DMC’s song — one of the most famous rap songs of all time — until August 2005.
funny enough, this suit is towards online distributors only, for they “copy” the work each time anyone is downloading the purchased track. stop the madness…
