As a teacher, there is one thing I really do not like and that is cheating. I never stood for it, and never liked watching someone get credit for someone elses hard work. Fall Out Boy is in the process of getting sued once again for using someone elses ideas. This comes after reaching an out-of-court settlement with South Philly's Wesley Eisold of the band Some Girls, after co-opting some lyrics from his old band American Nightmare and other poetry Eisold has published. What got them in trouble this time around, well Nicholas Hans of the band Knives Out, alleges the band took a phrase and concept from a T-shirt he designed and used it for lyrics on a track from the multi-platinum 2005 record "From Under the Cork Tree." In 2001, Hans' former band Knives Out, toured the U.S. and sold a black T-shirt with a drawing of a hand with a ribbon tied around the wrist and the phrase "Don't Open Till After X-Mas." The line "The ribbon on my wrist says, 'Do not open before Christmas,' " is part of Fall Out Boy's song "Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued" (which refers to an unrelated matter). "They 100 percent ripped us off," Hans said earlier this week. "It just pisses me off. They should have asked," says the artist/musician. He's meeting with a lawyer to discuss possible recourse. I guess there is only one thing Fall Out Boy can do now..........God I love youtube
