Pearl Jam Frontman Sued For Copyright Infringement

Most obscure artists would be flattered if a multi-platinum rock star thought highly enough of one of their songs that they recorded a cover version. That wasn't the case for Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Veddar. He got sued for a cover song because he changed the lyrics. Ace Show Biz reports: The Pearl Jam star recorded Gordon Peterson's tune "Hard Sun" in 2007 for Sean Penn's film "Into the Wild", but Peterson, who originally wrote the track in 1987, wasn't happy when he heard the finished version - and realized the rock icon had altered the lyrics. Peterson is now suing Vedder and has filed papers in New York's Manhattan federal court. The suit states, "Vedder altered certain key lyrics of 'Hard Sun'... eroding the integrity of the composition." - more on this story
