Green Day Getting Sued
A 32-year-old grocery store checker from the US is trying to sue Green Day, claiming he wrote their new album 'American Idiot' back in 1992.Paul McPike is cliaming to have sung all the songs for his classmates at Independence High School in California, and filed a copyright infringement complaint in U.S. District Court last week.U.S. Magistrate Judge John Cooney has recommended dismissing the case, but has suggested that McPike, who represented himself, could file an amended complaint detailing his copyright of the lyrics and music.So far the only evidence submitted is a copy of the album and McPike's claim that the words Billie Joe Armstrong sings don't exactly match those printed on the album's cover.
