lemonheads' dando sues general motors over alleged song copy
from
ap
:
Lemonheads founder Evan Dando (
DAN'-doh
) is
suing General Motors, saying the auto giant copied one of his songs for an ad
. Dando sued GM and advertising and licensing firms in federal court Thursday, claiming the automaker violated his copyright on The Lemonheads song "
It's a Shame About Ray
." The complaint alleges the song was re-recorded and included in a 2008 TV campaign for Chevrolets and Buicks.
Dando seeks damages and a portion of profits from the campaign
. GM, which sought federal bankruptcy protection this week, and the licensing firm
Asche & Spencer Music, Inc
. did not immediately respond to calls Friday
. The Lemonheads had several hits in the 1990s, including "
Into Your Arms
" and a remake of "
Mrs. Robinson
."
this is going to be very difficult to prove ... however, for a great example of copyright infringements, read about
tom waits vs frito-lay, et al
