Overview
Overview
In 1990 Larrikin bought the copyright to "Kookaburra", which had been written in 1932, for $6,100. In 2009 they sued Men at Work for including two bars of Kookaburra at the beginning of their song "Down Under", attempting to claim 60% of the profits made by the song. They were awarded 5% of the profits, which was changed to $100,000.
