Fergie Being Sued for Copyright Infringement

Fergie
It’s like Coldplay and Joe Satriani all over again! Fergie and will.i.am are being sued. A company called Grounded Music claims that the Dutchess’ song “Voodoo Doll” is actually a rip off!

The music group Groundation recorded a song called “Each One Teach One” in 2000, and they believe Fergie stole from it and made it into her 2006 hit song.

The lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, states that the Fergie track “is substantially and strikingly similar to their song. The suit seeks unspecified damages.

Speaking of Joe Satriani, his attempt to sue Coldplay didn’t pan out too well, and the case was thrown out earlier this week. So the chances of Groundation getting paid probably aren’t good!

Take a listen! Do you think Fergie ripped it off?

There are only so many notes in music and songs have a similar sound all the time but are usually quite different as are these two. It will probably get thrown out too. Most of these type of suits usually are thrown out.

Whatever, and who cares. Musicians are influenced by others all the time, as a result there are many similarities between songs. Songs that are truely original don't exist much anymore.
