Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2003] MONTREAL - Metallica are taking legal action against independant Canadian rock band Unfaith over what they feel is unsanctioned usage of two chords the band has been using since 1982: E and F.[rest of article here]Origins: Metallica may be derided by some fans as an aggressively litigious group, having once sued the Napster file-sharing service over the unauthorized distribution of their copyright-protected music, but they haven't gone so far as to sue another band over the use of the E and F chords. The Metallica Sue Canadian Band over E, F Chords article was a spoof posted on the humor site scoopthis.com andmocked up to look like a genuine news page from the MTV.com web site. The joke was executed well enough that it fooled some legitimate news services, such as Ananova, into picking up the story.
