Musician Fergie Sued For Music Copyright Infringement

Copyright litigation has been filed against musician Fergie.  The lawsuit alleges that Fergie stole her hit song "Voodoo Doll" from a virtually unknown reggae group named Groundation.  Groundation claims that Fergie copied the beat from their song "Waterfall."  The suit further alleges that "Voodoo Doll" is substantially similar and strikingly similar to "Waterfall."   If you are faced with copyright litigation, please contact a lawyer who is well versed in handling copyright infringement lawsuits.
