Jonathan Coulton Explains How Glee Ripped Off His Cover Song — And Why He's Not Alone | Underwire | Wired.com

Jonathan Coulton Explains How Glee Ripped Off His Cover Song — And Why He's Not Alone | Underwire | Wired.com | Musicbiz | Scoop.it
Fans of indie musician Jonathan Coulton were incensed last week when an alleged Glee version of "Baby Got Back" surfaced on the internet that seemed to shamelessly rip off Coulton's distinctive arrangement of the 1992 Sir Mix-A-Lot song.
Kristy Jackson's insight:
So here's a show that focusses on ant-bullying and difficulties of being an artist  and completely rips of an Indie artist's version.  Listen to them.  They're identical.  Shame on Glee.  I knew there was a reason I didn't watch it.
