Avril Officially Cleared

I’ve already said that Avril Lavigne has settled her copyright infringement lawsuit with The Rubinoos. And now, the guys that sued her have made a statement further saying that the pop rocker is in the clear. The singer was sued back in July by Tommy Dunbar and James Gangwer over their 1979 song “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend”.

They have now renounced their suit and are saying that “We are satisfied that any similarities between the two songs resulted from Avril and Luke’s use of certain common and widely used lyrics. We therefore completely exonerate Avril and Luke from any wrongdoing of any kind in connection with the claims made by us in our lawsuit.”
