Are you kidding me? 20 years later?

Los Angeles – September 15, 2006 – Members of the 80s rock band The Knack today filed a lawsuit against the members of Run DMC, and Run DMC’s producers, distributors, publishers and record companies, over Run DMC’s use of an unlicensed sample of The Knack ’s 1979 platinum hit “My Sharona” in Run DMC’s song, “It’s Tricky.”

Rediculous. No, this is recockulous. I mean, hello? It’s been 20 years? And, as mentioned in the article, this song was HUGE! They couldn’t have said something then? You know, strike while the iron is hot and all that.

What a bunch of idiots. We are all doomed. Doomed I say, DOOMED!
