YouTube Evidence: Avril Lavigne Steals

Via Ms. Lisa Kelley: Avril Lavigne is being sued by the 70's pop group The Rubinoos for allegedly stealing their hook for the song "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" - and this YouTube video is blatant proof. Her representatives at Nettwerk Music Group are denying all claims of copyright infringement - but reports are saying they'll probably end up settling anyways. According to the Billboard article, Lavigne's manager Terry McBride says, "Our musicologist says there is no similarities of melody, choral progression or meter." Check it out for yourself...yikes!
