*Guest Post by *Bobby Owsinski* on [Music 3.0](http://music3point0.com/2017/02/13/grammy-suing/?ref=hypebot.com)*There have been some pretty crazy plagiarism lawsuits brought against some of the biggest stars in the last few years. These have had a chilling effect on artists, songwriters, labels and publishers everywhere.This funny video from the stars of **Portlandia** kind of says it all on the subject, at least from an artistic perspective. Do you have an attorney that’s so good he should “get a Grammy for suing”?The part I like the best is the fact that the attorney in the video “owns the key of G.”
