Miley Cyrus Song-Stealing: Miley Cyrus “Rockstar” Lustra “Scotty Doesn’t Know”
Public image problems just went from bad to worse for Miley Cyrus. The fifteen year old Hannah Montana icon is being accused of copyright infringement. Miley allegedly swiped her song “Rockstar” from Lustra, a rock band who recorded the single “Scotty Doesn’t Know” for the 2004 Eurotrip Original Soundtrack. “If Hannah Montana wants us now, who is next? The Jonas Brothers?” Chris Baird of Lustra says.
As of Thursday, Miley’s label, Hollywood Records, has not commented on the copyright infringement accusation.
We’ll let you be the judge. Here are samples of Miley’s “Rockstar” and Lustra’s “Scotty” track. Do you hear any similarities?

i heard the song on the disney channel and as soon as i heard it i was like was that scotty doesn't know and i listened on and it was all hannah montana?
i looked it up straight away.
if you think about the guitar bit is the most important and heard bit, for the people that said "I say no there isn’t any similarity except for the guitar part!! So she actually didn’t copy!" or similar to that there complete idiots. and again yeah miley cyrus may have not written the song, but shouldn't her 'people' of checked it out? and they didnt so yeah i'd say she is partly to blame.

"miley u seriously rock…………….am a big fan of u r songs……….."
are you serious?
you honestly wrote a note to miley cyrus?
the girl who is too busy with the "hard" life to even care enough to read this
she would not read this if you posted on the hannah montana myspace page or whatever because she doesnt care enough
definitely ripped off Lustra though, i know she didnt write it because she isnt talented enough

Honestly I think that the guitar part sounds the same and the beat of the verses and such, sound a bit of the same.
People shouldn't worry too much about her music though. There's far worse things she's done.

Dude, I am just scandalized by the lyrics of Scotty Doesn't Know and I wonder, are they really going to be ALLOWED perform in front of Cyrus' fans? As in 2 year olds to 12 year olds (yes, that is the age range)?

From reading the previous comments, I don't think that you guys know what plagerism is, do you?
It's not, "oh, it's just the guitar," or "let's let her off this time" but "Lustra-is-going-to-sue-the-life-out-of-Miley-and-the-show-Hannah-Montana-and-make-Miley-cry-herself-to-sleep-at-night."
This is big. This is huge. This will on reputations and affect her future greatly.
