The lawsuit filed by Steven Stiefel and Ken Caillat claims that the play 'Stereophonic' stole the essential elements of their book 'Making Rumours', alleging it copies the 'heart and soul'.
The contention lies not in the characters relating to Fleetwood Mac, but in how the play's format and specific scenes closely mimic that of 'Making Rumours', which tells the story of the band.
'Stereophonic' depicts a fictional band recording in the same studio and time era as Fleetwood Mac, further muddying the lines between inspiration and infringement according to Caillat.
Caillat's claims are supported by his first-hand experience as a sound engineer for Fleetwood Mac, stating that seeing 'Stereophonic' made him feel 'ripped off,' indicating a personal connection to the material.
