"Guns n Roses might have a thorn in their side.

People have been noting a similarity between their classic 'Sweet Child O Mine' and a song recorded six years earlier - Australian Crawl's 'Unpublished Critics'.

Apparently the Crawl are not itching to take this to court - so has some common sense finally crept into the debate over intellectual property?

Rebecca Levingston spoke to former Australian Crawl front man James Reyne and John Willsteed - former bassist with the Go-Betweens and now lectures in music at QUT."
