This should be under ‘breaking news’ man. I always thought something was fishy about that riff.

I wonder what kind of royalities they still receive for that song? I suspect the money is long gone and it will take many, many years to get 5% of the total of what it has made.

CNN did not say what the estimated amount of the damages is. Other reports say it will be under a million Australian dollars.

This crap is so tiresome.
“Oh gee! Didja hear that note? It sounds just like a note I played in my last song!”
I never saw the harm in Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord” and I fail to see the harm expressed in “Down Under”. In both cases even if we accept that there is a similarity existing between the two tunes, the net result was an increase of plays for the “injured” source song.
Oh well, I guess it is the age of nit-picking...
