That isn't a typo by the way. $400,000,000,000.

OUCH! $400 BILLION?
That's ridiculous... It's only a song! I don't need to have heard both to know that this is far too much for a case of plagiarism.

This has settled out of court written all over it.

For like $25,000.

I'm pretty sure that $400 Billion is 4 times the amount that the richest person in the world even has too lol

he wants the annual GDP of Norway. sounds reasonable.

It seems like Bart Steele has a bailout plan of his own...

"I shall sue you for...4 Billion Dollars! Muahahahaha" *Dr.Evil finger thing*

Wow that is a little over the top, but it is Bon Jovi so I say go for it.This Message Edited On 10.16.08

Wow way to look intelligent.

who the fuck is bart steele?

Give the man his money and Bon Jovi a good buttfuck. Everyones happy.

As much as I dislike Bon Jovi's music, 400 billion is a bit ridiculous.

with the way the US economy is going that's gonna be just enough for a 6 pack of shitty American beer.

^^ Truth ^^

FOUR HUNDRED (billion) BABIES

lol

lol so stupid.

Hah kind of like the movie Knocked Up was based on a book written a few years earlier...like the book had the exact same plot...and Appatow even admitted to having read the book.

he'll never get it

$400 billion for a song. What a fucking idiot.

Epic lol.

Does this guy have plans to buy Australia or something?

ahahahahahaha. i hope jon saved his money. as if this will ever go to court.

bitch please

400 BILLION! Why doesn't the guy just go raid the bailout, I'm sure they wont miss any of it.

Seriously, the music industry (and law generally, but music in particular) has gone completely over the top. There is no reason for this suing, if someone ripped me off and I was a relatively successful artist, I wouldn't sue them for $400 billion! I might talk to them and say 'Hey look, this isn't fair...' but even given the world's biggest display of disrespect, I wouldn't sue for that.
Music ain't just about money, it's been said before but that doesn't make it any less relevant. Chances are that the 2 songs probably aren't even all that similar.

$400 billion? haha, that's crazy.

Speaking of this song, anyone else hate it with a passion? I cringe when I hear it on TBS during the MLB playoffs. Maybe it just reminds me of how much the Cubs let me down, but I still hate it.

So this guy is a nobody and this is his only chance at fame.

FOUR HUNDRED (billion) BABIES

lol 400 Billion...its probably going to end up being like 4 Million or less

4 million is still to much tbh.

This guy is responsible for an atrocious Bon Jovi track? Fuck $400 billion, extradite him to Texas for some express lane death penalty action.

oh Steele you idiot... it was probably an accident. i mean, did you personally create the G and C chord?

400bn, the idiot is having a laugh.

400bn... hmmm, perhaps he's thinking of buying a shiny new Honda Civic...

That's made my day

The songs are completely different so I don't understand why he is being sued. I listened to them myself and checked the lyrics so.... whats the beef?

Will this guy then unleash the sharks with freckin laser beams on their heads?

Wow...I immediately had at least 5 jokes about this after I read it...they have all been used...dang...

"This guy is responsible for an atrocious Bon Jovi track? **** $400 billion, extradite him to Texas for some express lane death penalty action."

lmao

I'm suspecting that once the judge hears what Steele wants, he or she will gavel his gooch. For realsies.

Fucking greedy bastard. He should get hit by several buses in quick succession.

This dude's lawyer must've been on crack.

Knowing the American legal system, he could well win this.

Million, maybe. Even then, wouldn't that be a ****ton of his earnings? That's insane man, lol.

What an asshole.

hahaha, seriously sounds like something Dr Evil would say..
four HUNDREAD billion DOLLARS! *pinky*
