To my dear media, friends, and fans, You may have heard some news that two guys who wrote for some band from the 1970s I have never in my life heard of called the "Rubinoos" are trying to sue me. They have a song called "I Want To Be Your Boyfriend" that has no musical similarities to the song "Girlfriend" that Luke Gottwald and I wrote together. They claim that a small part of the lyrics are the same and are saying that I took these from them. I had never heard this song in my life and their claim is based on 5 words! All songs share similar lyrics and emotions. As humans we speak one language. Off the top of my head, two other songs that I can immediately think of with this type of lyric are "Hey, hey, you, you get off of my cloud" by the Rolling Stones and "Hey little girl I want to be your boyfriend" by the Ramones. Simply put, I have been falsely accused of ripping their song off. Luke and I have done nothing wrong and there is no merit to their claim. And slap in the face #2 I was going to be the bigger person and not reply when I read Chantal Kreviazuk's article in Performing Songwriter magazine. Now that all the media have caught on to her little interview, I need to speak. Chantal's comments are damaging to my reputation and a clear defamation of my character and I am considering taking legal action. Chantal has accused me of taking a song idea from her because I happen to have a song on my new record with the same title. For the record, I wrote a song with Evan Taubenfeld which coincidentally has the same title as a song Chantal had sent me a few years ago. Our songs have no similarities and opposite meanings, i.e. different lyrics, different melody, different genres. In Chantal's own words "the only similarity is in the title." I originally wrote this with Evan for his record and I ended up with it. Funny enough when I decided to put "Contagious" on my album we had to change the words from "she" to "he" in order for it to work on my record. There are hundreds of songs out there with the title "Contagious," 75+ on iTunes alone. Chantal has also made false accusations about my writing skills. I am so over this topic. This letter is not about this. I am not going to sit here and defend my writing skills. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I know who I am and what I have done and accomplished and no one can take that away from me. My decision to discontinue working with Chantal after co-writing together on my second record was simply based on the fact that we had no hits together. That is why her name is not on this record, despite her numerous attempts to be included, which were always denied. From my perspective this is a clear case of bitterness. Chantal is upset that she didn't get to be a part of my record. She did email me after the article came out apologizing and I forgive her but I have to put the truth out there so my fans are not confused by these false accusations. Let it be crystal clear that I have not ripped anyone off or done anything wrong. I have never had to deal with anything publicly like this and surely never wanted to. I do not deserve this negative press and attention. I take pride in the songs that I write and appreciate the opportunities to work with some great writers and musicians. My fans have been so dedicated to my music and it is because of them that I have this amazing career. Thank you again to my fans for continuing to be so supportive. This is a very positive time for me in my life. I have a very successful career and I feel very lucky to have accomplished all that I have. I am so thankful every day. I would like to say more but my lawyers have advised me not to. Why is it when you get to a certain level people want to attack you?.... and now I have said my peace. Avril

针对于最近有人控告AVRIL抄袭的事件，AVRIL于昨日在她的SPACE亲自发表了一分声明，以下为全文翻译： 给所有的媒体，我的朋友和粉丝： 或许你们已经听说了，最近有两个说是给一只70年代名叫"Rubinoos" 的乐队创作歌曲的人想要控告我，而我根本就连这个乐队都不知道，他们的那首"I Want To Be Your Boyfriend" 和我与Luke Gottwald一起创作的“Girlfriend”在音乐上毫无相似之处。他们声称有一小部分的歌词和他们的一样，并说我是从他们那里抄袭来的歌词，要知道，我从出生到现在并没有听过这只70年代乐队的歌，并且他们这样控诉我仅仅是因为有5个单词是一样的，要知道作为地球人，我们使用的是同一种语言。 既然是这样，我可以立马想到其他两首歌词也差不多的歌曲，滚石乐队的"Hey, hey, you, you get off of my cloud"和"Hey little girl I want to be your boyfriend" 来自The Ramones乐队点击查看乐队资料，简单的说，我和Luke并没有做错什么，而他们这样无理的控告使我感到厌恶。 而关于我的前专辑制作人Chantal Kreviazuk（姿子注：VV第二张专辑“Under my skin”的作曲人）也指责我抄袭她的创意，只是因为我新专辑里的一首歌歌名和她前连两年制作的歌名一样，我觉得，这对我是个极大的侮辱，我已经在考虑是否采取法律行动来解决这次事件，一切都太荒谬了。 第二点我想说的是，我和EVAN一同创作了这首歌，而巧合的是，这首歌的歌名与Chantal前几年发我的歌的歌名是一样的，要知道，这两首歌是完全没有共同点的，我们所要表达的感情不一样，思想不一样，不同的歌词，不同的旋律，不同的想法，看看Chantal自己说的吧“唯一的相同点就是歌名”，这可真够好笑的，仅仅凭这一点就指责我剽窃她的创意，我和EVAN最初创作这首歌的时候是想把这歌放入EVAN的专辑里，并不是我，而当我决定把这首"Contagious" 放入我的新专辑里时，我们还把歌词中的"she" 改成"he"，据我所知，光光在 iTunes上，歌名为"Contagious”的歌就有好几百首。 另外Chantal 还质疑我的做曲创做能力，这太无聊了，而且我写这封信也不是来给我辩护这个，我不会坐在这，然后质疑我自己的创作能力，我不需要证明任何东西给任何人看，我就是我，我知道自己想要什么，我所做的工作和我取得的成绩是大家有目共睹的，没人可以借此来诽谤我。 我和Chantal在第二张专辑后已经没有任何合作的计划，因为我们两之间没有任何共通点，这就是她的名字为什么没有出现在我第三张专辑里，尽管她试图想让她的名字出现在这张专辑里，但都被拒绝了，这件事就是这样，她很难过，因为她没有出现在我第三张专辑里，她没有成为我们的一部分，为此她还发了一封邮件来向我道歉，并且我已经原谅了她，我讲这件事的原因就是想把真相告诉大家，让我的歌迷知道真相，而不是糊里糊涂的相信一些假消息。 大家要清楚我并没有抄袭或者剽窃任何人的创做，我并没有做错任何事，我从来没有想在大众面前那么严肃地发表声明，我也不想这么做，因为我不值得受到这样负面的消息报道和关注.我很自豪这些歌都是我自己创作的，并且也很感激我有和一些大牌们的合作机会。 我也很感激我的FANS如此支持着我的音乐，因为有了你们，我才会有那么辉煌的事业，再次谢谢你们支持我，现在是我一生中最美好的时候，我有着成功的事业，并且我完成了我当初想要的一切，我感激我生命中的每一天。 我还想说一些，但我的律师说已经足够了，不过最后我还想说一句：为什么当你到达某一高度的时候，人们总是想来攻击你，诋毁你？？我有我自己说话的自由与权利。
