Lil Wayne sued for stones copyright breach
The music company that owns the Rolling Stones song “Playing with Fire” sued Lil Wayne for releasing an alternate version of the song without permission. They said Lil Wayne's "Playing with Fire" is a clear derivative of the Rolling Stones song with the original lyrics and music altered in a recognizable way. One of the example they used in the suit was a lyric from the Stones song is "But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire," and the Lil Wayne version has the line, "But you can't blame me if I set this stage on fire." The company also said that Lil Wayne's version uses "explicit, sexist and offensive language" and they didn’t like it because they said it could lead the public to believe the company and the Rolling Stones approved of and authorized the new version. The type of case was about music.
