Nelly Furtado and producer Timbaland are being sued for plagiarism over the song "Do it" on Furtado's 2006 album Loose. Finish composer Janne Suni claims "Do it" is a rip-off of his composition "Acidjazzed Evening." It might prove to be an interesting case because it focuses on the fuzzy line between sampling and good old fashioned copyright infringement.
Here' the You Tube video that's helped highlight the similarities in the songs since it was posted two years ago:

Hmm, why post this now in 2009? This news is old, starting in 2006. I believe the trial was thrown out in 2008 and is now in appellate proceedings.
