DelusionalGaga 29,581 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Israeli singer Netta won this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon. Now the Universal Music Group accused the songwriters of the winning song "Toy" of plagiarizing from the 2003 hit "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes. Keshet TV reported that Doron Medalie and Stav Beger, composers of "Toy", received a letter two weeks ago from Universal claiming copyright infringement, due to apparent similarity between the two songs. Netta's manager responded: “No legal claim was received, only a preliminary clarification letter on the matter.” Eurovision rules state clearly that the winning song must be original. If it turns out that Medalie and Beger plagiarized the song, Netta could be disqualified and next year’s contest will not be held in Israel. What do you think? Are those claims valid? Here are the two songs in question: Source: https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/songwriters-of-israeli-eurovision-winner-toy-threatened-with-plagiarism-suit-1.6242449 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
