Lakers Sued For Music Piracy!

Lakers Sued For Music Piracy!

Lakers Sued For Music
Oh Lakers, why?? WHY????
Ha!
The Lakers are being sued for totally ripping off their Da Da Dad Danta Do, which is a famous charge cheer.
A man named Bobby Kent made the chant all the way back in 1980 when he was the musical director for the San Diego Chargers — and copyrighted it.
He first realized that the Lakers were using it in 2010, so he got a hold of those in charge and they paid him $3k for a one-year license. Which has expired. But they’re still using it.
Now he’s suing! We’d be pissed too!
And get this — Kent wants $150,000 for every time the Lakers used the song since the license allegedly expired! That’s a LOT of money.
We wonder if he’ll win!
We’ll see!
