| | Comments (0)

Apparently someone felt that he owned the poetic phrase “Back That Ass Up,” and attempted to sue for copyright infringement.

Ignoring the obvious questions (is “Back That Ass Up” really poetic, and who the hell would admit to owning it?), this is a good example of the kind of expression that is not considered unique, and therefore not ownable.
