Lawsuit
In 2004, Namco filed a lawsuit against Lil' Flip, Sony BMG, and several others for willful copyright infringement. The lawsuit, by Namco, filed in New York Federal Court, stemmed from "Game Over (Flip)" noticeably sampling various sounds from the Namco games 'Pac-Man' and 'Ms. Pac-Man'.
It followed on the heels of a separate copyright infringement lawsuit against the same group of defendants involving Lil' Flip's previous album, 'Undaground Legend', which ended in a $150,000 judgement awarded to the plaintiffs.[http://allhiphop.com/2006/02/01/lil-flipsony-bmg-music-found-guilty-of-copyright-infringement/ "Lil' Flip, Sony BMG Music found guilty of copyright infringement"] All HipHop news
