![]() So, what next? A US judge has just ruled Nickelback should face a lawsuit alleging copyright infringement. Johnston claims Nickelback's version copies his tunes, "tempo, song form, melodic structure, harmonic structures and lyrical themes." (via Loudwire) Johnston claims they made 15 copies of the master and sent it to many record labels, (including Roadrunner and Warner Chappell) and is accusing the labels of giving the song to Nickelback who then copied it and made it their own. He's accusing the band of ripping off HIS original song 'Rock Star,' that he penned while he was a member of the band Snowblind Revival in 2001. Kirk Johnston has sued Nickelback, Roadrunner Record, Warner Chappell Music and Live Nation for copyright infringement over the 2005 smash hit 'Rockstar.' What do you think? Total rip off? Or not even close?
