Why would you want the credit for this?
Troy Alexander wants credit for an ‘N Sync song. Alexander claims that he met the former boy band’s label back in 1990 and gave the label a song of his, “Up Against the Wall.” And his song, he says, is “substantially similar” to a track from ‘N Sync’s 2001 Celebrity album. Plagiarism, Alexander says. Plagiarism!
Troy filed his lawsuit in a federal court in Vegas on Monday. The label, Jive Records, says it doesn’t know anything about Alexander’s claim and that it hasn’t been served with the complaint yet.
And the answer to this entry’s title/question is certainly not pride. Rather, it’s gotta be the money, right?
