Do you agree with this federal court decision?
Aussie pop group Men at Work ripped off an Australian folk tune in their 1980s smash hit Down Under, a federal court judge has found.
Justice Peter Jacobson said the famous flute riff from the pop hit was unmistakably the same as the children's tune Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree, penned more than 75 years ago by Toorak teacher Marion Sinclair for a Girl Guides competition.

No I don't agree. It was a childish thing to go to court with in the first place & un Australian. Who gives a flying fig for a 75 yr old song. Men At Work will forever be remembered for that song & it's connection to our winning the Americas Cup. Shame on the people who brought the suit against them
