Posted May 17, 200718 yr http://www.bostongourmet.com/images/nsync.jpg *NSYNC Being Sued for Allegedly Stealing Song from Another Artist Justin Timberlake's former band *NSYNC, along with their label Jive Records, are being accused of ripping off a song by an, until now, unknown singer-songwriter - right down to the song title. In a lawsuit filed yesterday in a Las Vegas Federal Court, a musician named Troy Alexander (or 'Royal T') alleges that he played Jive Records a demo tape including the song ‘Up Against the Wall’ back in 1990. According to the lawsuit, Jive signed *NSYNC a few years later, who then released a song in 2001 "substantially similar" to Alexander's work. The song featured on the hit album 'Celebrity' and 'kept' the same title.
May 17, 200718 yr They should pile the whole £10 million onto Justin Timberlake. That would bruise his humongous ego, wouldn't it? ;)
May 17, 200718 yr the song was released in 2001 and he only realised now??? :wacko: yeah i agree. JT will probably pay for most of it.
