I mean... true. The title is a little click-baity perhaps (even though it is a direct quote), and this phenomenon of people reading a title/skimming an article and then spreading around inaccurate information is frustrating. But, I actually found the author to be quite thorough in his explanations. The tone was a bit more conversational than some, and last paragraph was maybe a little sensational, but if you read the whole thing I don't think you come away thinking anything other than what you said: "John Fogerty [...] was sued for plagiarizing a song he didn't own." It's just a little bizarre when you take one or two steps back from it, even though it may still be logical up close.
