Many, many things on the web, and particularly usenet, are libellous,
however, it's probably not worth the while of anyone going for gold in the
courts.
These two paras amuse me no end
"George Harrison was taken to court by the "Chiffons" because of
stealing one of their songs and calling it "My sweet lord".
The Beatles stole Trini Lopez's "Bamba" and called it "Twist and
shouts", pretending it was their own."
George was sued by Bright Music, who owned the rights to 'He's so fine'
and not the Chiffons. They made a record of the song but had no claim on
it.
Richie Valens wrote La Bamba and the Isley Brothers wrote Twist and Shout.
