Oops...
Madonna has lost the plagiarism case filed against her by a Belgian songwriter. Salvatore Acquaviva claimed that four bars of his song Ma Vie Fout L’camp was stolen by Madonna for her 1998 hit song Frozen... and he won.
The Belgian judge ordered that that EMI, Sony and Warner immediately stop selling the song (and the album it is on) in the country, as well as ordered the record companies to ensure that radio stations stopped airing the song or face fines of 100,000 euros.
Sampling is one thing... it can be cool... but outright theft is something entirely different.
Listening to: nada
