B3ta man victorious over Coca-Cola in music disputeCopyright spat fizzes outPublished Tuesday 23rd January 2007 14:15 GMT Coca-Cola has agreed to settle with an unsigned London band over a dispute that the soft drink's Argentinian subsidiary ripped off one of their songs and animated videos. Band 7 Seconds of Love and their lead singer Joel Veitch - a regular contributor to animation site B3ta.com - were told by fans that an Argentinian coke advert was spookily similar to their song and video. Rob Manuel, another B3ta regular, put a video complaint up on his blog showing the similarities between the two - see here. A large proportion of the money from the settlement will go to two charities supported by the band - baby charity Tommy's and Sands, the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society. The rest will go to getting the song properly recorded in a studio. ®
