In 2006 Canadian singer Avril Lavigne was accused of plagiarising a song called Girlfreind by Avril Lavigne was copyrighted and plagiarised a song from a band called the Rubinoos which was a popular band in the 1970's they made a song that sounds alot familur to Avril's song girlfreind called i want to be your boyfreind. It sounds very familur between the 2 songs we listened to them in class and the only difference is some of the lyrics i think the course of the 2 songs are the same but the lyrics are a little bit different like how the words are used the course of the song is very simular .
The rubinoos lead singer Tommy Dubar was sueing Avril for plagiarising his song and copyrighting without asking so he wants royalities for his song being used without his premission so he wanted to sue her for rights to the song but Avril claims that she never even heard of that bad and she dident know they had a song like that and she never heard it before when she wrote Girlfreind and Avril claims that her and her song writer Luke Gottwald wrote the lyrics from scratch and she dident take nothin from the Rubinoos except 5 words.
And thats what their sueing her for she says that their is not merit to their lawsuit agianst them and another singer says she would never work with Avril Lavigne agian because she got no credit on her album was Chantel Kreviazuk who helped her write her first album and some of the lyrics on her album and she dident get any credit for it so she said she would never work with her agian and Avril said the comments Chantel made about her could effect her career as a singer. Because they worked on acouple tracks together with a producer called Evan taubenfield who helped them both write songs later on Chantel appoligiased for saying she plagiarised and copied her songs and she made an public appoligie so Avril jus said so people would understand the lyrics were different and she accepted Chantels appoligies and the rubinhoos lost the lawsuit because their is no proof of copyright allthough it sounded the same it really isnt the same so she got off the hook.
