Why did Down Under get sued?
In June 2009, 28 years after the release of the recording, Larrikin Music sued Men at Work for copyright infringement, alleging that part of the flute riff of "Down Under" was copied from "Kookaburra".
How much did Men at Work get sued for?
So you have to defend it.” In February 2010, Men at Work appealed, and eventually lost. In the end, Larrikin won around $100,000, although legal fees on both sides have been estimated by Hay to be upwards $4.5 million, with royalties for the song frozen during the case.
When was Down Under produced?
"Down Under" is a song recorded by Australian rock band Men at Work. It was originally released in 1980 as the B-side to their first local single titled "Keypunch Operator", released before the band signed with Columbia Records.
What song did Down Under rip off?
But when I hear the Australian rock group Men at Work's "Down Under" hit from the 1980s, I don't immediately think of the "Kookaburra Sits In the Old Gum Tree" song. But I'm not an Australian judge, obviously. A court there ruled that "Down Under" ripped off Kookaburra.
