Velvet Revolver Settle Plagiarism Case.

Smoking Guns

Do you think Slash has ever heard of that band? This happens a lot in music. Don't Cry is another song that is just like another song and they went after GNR. Not sure of that outcome.

20% is a lot though - considering its only 1 track on the album

I agree, I didn't even know it was a single. People bought Contraband for 3 reasons.

1. To hear this supergroup/Upfront curiousity.
2. Slither/Set me Free
3. Fall to Pieces

Not "Dirty Little Thing". 20% is wayyy too much. But whatever.

And what a settlement it was: Newton will receive 20 percent of all royalties from Contraband

I can't believe that's accurate. It doesn't make sense that he would get royalties from the other songs.

This happens all the time in music. Most of Led Zeppelin's catalog was "ripped off" from other artists, and they're one of the all time greatest bands

Somehow I'm sure this is Axl's fault. Or at least Scott's.

It was Axl. Scott's too busy fucking up his own band.
