Copyright Infringement Trials: From George Harrison to Ed Sheeran.
After losing a copyright lawsuit against him, George Harrison released the satirical song "This Song" about his legal and courtroom experience. The song's lyrics make references to the case, including the line "This tune has nothing bright about it," a nod to the owner of the copyright to "He's So Fine," Bright Tunes Music. The court later reduced the damages awarded, because of the duplicity of Harrison's former manager, Allen Klein.
