Really? After ripping off Tom Petty's Last Dance with Mary Jane and getting away with it they are just going to sue someone for ripping off one of their songs?  |

That's freaking ridiculous. I hope they take every cent from her.

| | | | RHCP are just Aholes! The crap they have pulled on bands (Mr. Bungle) and their ripoffs just show they are not a team player in the industry. They are the Terrel Owens of Music. |

there a TON of songs that sound alike, should we just start litigatiing anyone that writes something even close?
Personaly I heard the similarities a bit, but I have heard much more glaring rip off than that.

And Charlie Parker take ever bit of money from every jazz player that ever lived and tried to play bebop.
