who owns the rights to the song under pressure
Under Pressure Controversy arose when Vanilla Ice sampled the Bassline for his 1990 single "Ice Ice Baby". Initially he denied the accusation, and then said he had modified it,[67] and did not originally pay songwriting credit or royalties to Queen and Bowie.[68][69] A lawsuit resulted in Bowie and all the members of Queen being given songwriting credit for the sample. Vanilla Ice later claimed to have purchased the publishing rights to "Under Pressure".[70][71] Vanilla Ice said buying the song made more financial sense than paying out royalties.[70]
