The Full Federal Court has rejected EMI’s appeal of Justice Jacobsen’s decision that Men at Work’s song “Down Under” infringed Larrikin Music’s copyright in “Kookaburra sits in the Old Gum Tree”. EMI will also have to pay Larrrikin’s costs of the appeal.
A copy of the decision is attached here. Our earlier posts on this topic are posts here, here and here.
