Miley Cyrus Ripped Off Lustra's Music

Rock band Lustra has accused singer/actress Miley Cyrus, star of Disney's Hannah Montanna, of ripping off one of their songs.

Lustra's preexisting, suggestive song "Scotty Doesn't Know" appeared in the motion picture "Eurotrip." Hannah Montana's later recorded and released "Rockstar" does sound a lot like it.

The composite picture of both songs having the same guitar riffs, melodies, groove, similar drum sequences and being about the same thing, someone not knowing you're in love with someone, forms copyright infringement. When you hear the songs back to back they sound alike, especially the beat. 

In her defense, Cyrus' spokesperson denied she wrote the song, "She doesn't write the songs - she sings them. We have referred this to Disney."  

Whoever wrote it ripped that band off. Judge for yourself via the songs: http://www.eonline.com
