Short story:

Judge Richard Owen, in the US District Court in New York City, USA, rules that, "Three-fourths of the success of My Sweet Lord is due to the plagiarized tune and one-fourth to other factors, such as the words and the popularity and stature of George Harrison." Harrison is ordered to pay $587,000 to his former manager Allen Klein's company ABCKO, for "subconscious plagiarism" of The Shirelles’ hit He's So Fine in Harrison's song My Sweet Lord.
