Re: Destiny's Child Accused of Song Stealing

Beyonce Knowles, her manager-father and Destiny's Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams have all been slapped with a $200-million lawsuit that charges their 2001 hit song "Survivor" was stolen from a Miami-based producer, reports the Associated Press.
The producer, Terrence "T-Robb" Robinson, claims in papers filed in Houston, Texas, federal court on Oct. 14 that he delivered his June 2000 song "Glorious" to Mathew Knowles, Beyonce's father, and believed the tune would provide him with his big career break.
Robinson's lawyer, Peter J. Clarke, claims his client subsequently heard the song used in a commercial, without his permission. (The lawyer also said that Robinson did not copyright the song until after he allegedly gave it to Mathew Knowles.)

The song wasn't copywritten so it was pretty much fair game. That's why you copyright stuff b/4 handing it over.
