The Hives Facing Legal Action Over Alleged Plagiarism
October 30, 2008 03:10:12Swedish rock band The Hives will enter the court room against Jason Shapiro as he sues them for copyright infringement. The U.S. songwriter claims that the vocal melody and riff from the band's song "Tick Tick Boom" off their 2007 LP, "The Black and White Album", are taken from a song penned by him called "Why You?".
Shapiro says that he first found the similarity between the two songs after listening "Tick Tick Boom" featured on the trailer of movie "Get Smart". Curious with the resemblance between the two singles, he then took both songs to a musicologist.
