Country Joe wins copyright dispute SAN FRANCISCO -- An appeals court has rejected a lawsuit charging 1960s psychedelic rocker Country Joe McDonald with copyright infringement for his 1965 protest song "Fixin' to Die Rag," which became a rallying cry for opposition to the Vietnam War. In a decision made public Friday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected an appeal from Babette Ory, who said McDonald's song infringed on jazz standard "Muskrat Ramble," credited to her father, Kid Ory. The appellate judges upheld a lower-court decision saying there was too long a delay in bringing the copyright lawsuit.
