Court Revives Copyright Lawsuit Against Singer Frankie Valli; Associated Press via New York Times, 2/10/15

Associated Press via New York Times; Court Revives Copyright Lawsuit Against Singer Frankie Valli:

"A federal appeals court on Tuesday revived a copyright lawsuit against Frankie Valli and fellow "Four Seasons" band member Robert Gaudio over "Jersey Boys," the popular musical about the band.
Donna Corbello sued Valli and Gaudio in 2011 for copyright infringement, claiming the musical was based in part on an unpublished autobiography of "Four Seasons" band member Thomas DeVito that her late husband ghost-wrote. She said she deserved to share in the profits from the musical's success."
