What You See Is What Gets Britney Spears Sued

The Philadelphia Daily News reports local songwriters Michael Cottrill and Larry Wnukowski have filed suit last Friday contending that Britney Spears, her publishing company and her recording company pirated their tune ‘What You See Is What You Get’ by using two versions of it on her platinum ‘Oops, I Did It Again’ album. The only difference is using the letter U in place of the word You. On the album, the song’s titled, ‘What U See Is What U Get.’ The suit asserts Britney’s handlers “merely made minor adjustments to some of the lyrics and music in the respective songs in an unsuccessful attempt to ‘conceal’ their pirating of” Cottrill’s and Wnukowski’s musical talents.
