Reports suggest that Tom Petty may sue the Red Hot Chili Peppers over that new song of theirs that sounds pretty damn like his track 'Mary Jane's Last Dance', though the official word from Petty's spokesman is pretty much "no comment", so it's not clear if these reports are true or not.
As previously reported, it was a US DJ who first started pointing out the similarities between RHCP single 'Dani California' and the Petty song - accusing the Chili Peppers of plagiarism.
Reports also suggest that Petty might sue producer Rick Rubin who is, as it happens, the missing link between these two songs - he having produced both of them.
However, as I say, there's no official word on any of this. Rather, Petty's spokesman told reporters: "I am well aware of this situation. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Tom doesn't have a comment on this at all. I have no idea if he is going to sue the Chili Peppers, and am not prepared to make a comment on that."
