What has not been mentioned is that he was found guilty by reason of "subconciously" copying the song, or something like that. In other words, he did not have to intentionally do it to be guilty. He just admitted that, yes, maybe the song happenned to be on the radio just before he wrote "My Sweet Lord," so maybe it was still on his mind. Maybe. Then again, if George was guilty, why oh why have Jagger & Richard(s) not sued Ray Davies for his ripoff of "Jumping Jack Flash" in his 1979 song "Catch Me Now (I'm Falling)." Maybe the Stones have too much class to do that sort of thing... Not about to infringe on anyone's copyright -- -- Matt Orel (!decvax!yale-comix!orel)
