	As has already been mentioned, George lost his case.  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...
