50 Cent Sued For Plagiarism

Apparently he knew he was stealing… and didn’t care!

Rapper 50 Cent is being sued for knowingly

sampling a riff without permission.

The star released the track for free a few years ago, thinking that he

would be immune to legal dispute if he didn’t make any money from it, according to TMZ.

However, Robert

Poindexter of The Persuaders is filing a lawsuit regardless, after his band’s song ‘Love Gonna Pack Up And Walk Out’ was

used on his song called ‘Redrum’.

He says in the suit: “Fifty Cents [sic] has not denied the infringement, but

appears to be basing his defense solely on a frivolous and immaterial claim that the illegal version is not being

commercially exploited, but is given away for free.”

He is allegedly suing for $600,000 for punitive damages, plus

interest.
