Bret Michaels and Poison facing lawsuit
Bret Michaels and his Poison bandmates are facing a lawsuit from another rock group over allegations of copyright infringement dating back to the 1980s.
Billy McCarthy and James Stonich, who were members of the now-defunct band Kid Rocker, filed a report on Wednesday claiming some of their songs have been used in Poison tracks, including Talk Dirty to Me and I Won't Forget You.
The lawsuit alleges guitarist C.C. DeVille auditioned for Kid Rocker in 1984 and they are suing the band, along with music bosses, for allegedly infringing the copyright of their songs.
They are demanding profits from the songs in question along with statutory damages and an injuction to prevent Poison from playing the tracks, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
