Now that ... if I am understanding it correctly is quite laughable, that these money mongers can think that the content of that song that they are claiming is theirs is worth THAT much ... Oh stop it, I think my bladder has just moved a bit too close to my eyes ... GET REAL ... and even from a marketing perspective if anyone thinks that the accumulated incomes generated from that song are because 40% to 60% of the buyers loved 9 notes of music in that entire work and so went out and bought it ... or that all those sales were influenced because of hearing melody in length the equivalent of a radio station "guess this song" and were so taken by it that they bought the record ... then they are on some serious drug.

Come on really, what made that song so popular ???? Hmmmm ... Why didnt everyone just go out and get their copy of "Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree" ... not waste their time and money on this new song that you can hear a similar sound for a blink ... and I finish by saying ... I bet you can find Land Down Under in many music collections and so then it follows that in 40% to 60% of these collections there will also be a copy of Kookaburra .... I dont think so.

These fleas on the dogs back are a disgrace in my opinion and even if there is a case to answer ... then if they were not just a pack of easy money mongers ... and if they were totally honest about how much "their" piece of the song contributed to the entire songs success then they would soon realise that this claim is a total waste of effort, time and more importantly from their perspectives ... money.
