This also reminds me of when John Fogerty was sued for plagiarising his own song:

self plagiarism? ouch guess its a good idea, no matter how hungry one may be, NEVER sell them songs. say, i know he won the court case on that link, but on a different yet related note, isnt he actually prevented from playing all those old classic rock songs he sold? imagine that...
