This article talks about Kanye West and some of the most famous rappers stealing part of song of a jazz artist from New York without permission. He is sueing 5 rappers including Method Man, Kanye West, Radman and Common for using parts of their songs, and is hoping to win total 1 million dollars.

It is significant, because today's music is experiencing some huge problems with breaking the copyrights and the music today is not as it used to be. Artists usually don't make their own music anymore, they have people for it.

I think it's pretty messed up that someone is trying to copy some musis from someone else, but it is also sad if that person is just making it up.
