Green Detox 2,779 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit Tuesday that accused Taylor Swift of copyright infringement on her hit song “Shake It Off.” Songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler brought the suit last fall, arguing that the chorus of the song borrowed from their 2001 composition, “Playas Gon’ Play.” In his ruling, Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald held that combining the phrases, “Playas gonna play” and “haters gonna hate,” does not entail sufficient originality to warrant copyright protection. “By 2001, American popular culture was heavily steeped in the concepts of players, haters, and player haters,” Fitzgerald wrote. “The concept of actors acting in accordance with their essential nature is not at all creative; it is banal.” http://variety.com/2018/music/news/taylor-swift-player-hater-dismiss-1202697663/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kulture Kiari 3,433 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I read this online somewhere else, and it stated that the final court date would be Feb 26th, and that the judge had called the lyrics too basic. Let me see if I can find that article.

RAMROD 99,786 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I mean, that is baseless reason to sue TS based on those very general stuff. I hope TS is as petty as Gaga when some girl trying to sue her for Judas or something, and Gaga won (obviously) and besides receiving $$, Gaga asked the girl to pay for the entire the court fees too lmao (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ I've Become A Notorious Being (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
