Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige and Eve are being sued by Madonna’s publishing company for copyright infringement regarding the song ‘Not Today’ which featured on the official ‘Barbershop 2’ soundtrack.
The track which was Dr Dre produced featured singer Blige and rapper Eve. The lawsuit is surprisingly coming from the people who own the rights to Madonna’s ‘Holiday’. Even though the Madge track was made twenty odd years ago the lawyer’s state the copyright has been breached.
Celebrity Justice has reported the publishing company claims the songs are just too similar, Judith Finell the top musicologist has compared them and declares, “Both the pitches and the rhythms sound closely related. I don’t think they’re identical, because Madonna’s song is in what we call ‘major key’ and Mary J Blige’s song is in a minor key.”
Well he sure deserves this. Remember some time back when he was one of the first musicians along with metallica that attacked Napster?
