VERDICT
This $44 million verdict and judgment is the largest for any songwriter in history.
CLUB GIRL
THE ORIGINAL SONG THAT BAD GIRL WAS DERIVED FROM
VERSION 1 – “CLUB GIRL”
Marino’s initial seed of creativity and artistic expression – original “Club Girl”.
VERSION 2 – “CLUB GIRL”
Marino and Barton then used a drum machine to create and add a ‘beat’.
VERSION 3 – “CLUB GIRL”
Marino, Barton, and Guice complete the lyrics and Guice adds vocals.
VERSION 4 – “BAD GIRL”
Usher’s “Bad Girl” is nothing more than a slavish copy of Marino’s “Club Girl”.
