The Chiffons v George Harrison George Harrison's subconscious

 Discussion 13: The Chiffons v George Harrison

 

George Harrison's subconscious landed him in serious legal trouble in 1970, when he was sued for aping the Chiffons' "He's so Fine" with his song "My Sweet Lord." Harrison acknowledged his familiarity with the Chiffons' hit but claimed that he wrote his song without any attempt to copy it. Judge Owen decided against Harrison, ruling, "It is clear that 'My Sweet Lord' is the very same song as 'He's so Fine.' Under the law, this is infringement of copyright, and is no less so even though it may have been subconsciously accomplished."

Although the album featuring "My Sweet Lord" was number one on the Billboard charts for seven weeks, Harrison never received any royalties. About the suit, Harrison remarked, "I still don't understand how the courts aren't filled with similar cases as 99 percent of the popular music that can be heard is reminiscent of something or other." (see more on Harrison's view at http://www.beatlesbible.com/people/george-harrison/songs/my-sweet-lord/3/).  

Go to http://wzlx.cbslocal.com/2013/02/22/cops-and-rockers-george-harrison-loses-my-sweet-lord-plagiarism-case/, watch the video's below, and vote.

After reviewing your vote and the results, consider what you have learned about Copyright and discuss whether you agree them the majority of the votes and why.

Finally, read http://www.forbes.com/sites/oliverherzfeld/2014/05/21/spirit-v-led-zeppelin-analysis-of-the-stairway-to-heaven-infringement-lawsuit and then listen to Description: https://bconline.broward.edu/d2l/img/0/Images.FileTypeIcons.icnVideo16x16.png?v=10.1.0.465-229Spirit - Taurus.mp4.

Based on this and the reasoning in the "My Sweet Lord" plagiarism case, explain whether you believe that Led Zeppelin's famous "Stairway to Heaven" was plagiarized and how regardless of what you believe, a court would be most likely to rule.
