In these days where so many ears focus on the rhythm more than the actual melody/lyrics - which is what the songwriters own - I guess that's all the jury needed to hear. So I'm assuming they were sued over the production/arrangement as producers of the record - which has a separate copyright. Not really clear on that. It's all so jumbled up it's amazing anyone understands copyright law. And I certainly doubt this was a jury of a musician/songwriter/producer/s actual "peers".

I think this is not good for music and if stands will open a giant can of worms.
