Title: Dr Dre Sued over "Addictive" Track !!!!
Post by: big_mike on July 12, 2002, 05:10:54 AM
INDIAN GIVER: Dr. Dre is in settlement talks with attorneys for Saregama India Limited, after discovering Aftermath/Interscope artist Truth Hurt's smash "Addictive" illegally used portions of an Indian movie soundtrack, it was reported by allhiphop.com. The song sampled was "Thoda Resham Lagta Hai," by Hindu singer Lata Mangeshkar, from the movie Jyoti. Dre's legal counsel responded that they couldn't locate the original copyright holders, but were willing to offer six cows to secure the rights. (7/11p)

Actually when I first heard this song I knew I had heard the saem beat b4.  I think it is right for someone to get sued if they use someone elses sound.

Yeah Quik did the beat ... but Dre Bought/Released It and should have gotten Clearance ... He acknowledged that they couldn't get in touch w/the right people to get the proper clearance.

herez the original news article from the wcckillaz site:

Dre being sued for copyright infringement?? Posted on July 12, 2002

Back in late May attorneys for Saregama India Limited filed a lawsuit against Dr Dre's label Aftermath Entertainment and it's parent label Interscope Records for copyright infringement, claiming that Dr Dre Illegally sampled pieces from a Indian movie soundtrack. The song sampled was "Thoda Resham Lagta Hai," by Hindu singer Lata Mangeshkar, from the movie "Jyoti." Dre's legal counsel said that they couldn't find the original copyright holders.

After almost a month of talks between the two parties they are finally in settlement talks. and they are expected to agree on a final settlement by the end of the week...

That's too bad.  I am really liking "Addictive".  I like the whole cd.  Very well put together in my opinion.
