From the ABC:
Men at Work lose Kookaburra case
The Australian band Men at Work has lost a copyright case over the song Down Under.
Larrikin Music accused the band of stealing the song's flute riff from the children's song Kookaburra Sits In The Old Gum Tree, which Larrikin owns the rights to.
The company sought compensation from Down Under songwriters Colin Hay and Ron Strykert.
The Federal Court has ruled in Larrikin's favour.
