After nearly three years battling Miller Brewing Co., the Spin Doctors have won a law suit against the beer brewing giant. A Los Angeles jury found Miller liable for copyright infringement. Miller used a song in a commercial that was deemed too similar to the band's hit, "Two Princes." Initially, the group reportedly sought damages in the area of $25 million, and now the band's lawyer said he will ask for $11.5 million. Peter Malkin, one of the band's managers at DAS Communications, confirmed that the band had won but that he could not disclose a finite dollar amount at this time. Malkin went on to say that the Spin Doctors have found a new guitarist from Israel and that they are currently looking for a new label since leaving Epic after their last release, You've Got To Believe In Something.
