BUtterfield 8 37,928 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Katy was sued by Christian rapper Flame back in July 2014 after claiming Katy's track "Dark Horse" is a total rip-off of his gospel track "Joyful Noise." Flame's music label uploaded the music video in 2008. According to the suit ... Flame says Perry not only jacked their religious music ... she also destroyed his reputation in the Christian music world because they're now associated with the anti-Christian witchcraft and imagery that appears in the "Dark Horse" mv. Flame claims Katy jacked the underlying beat ... but she's calling BS, saying there are no significant similarities. https://www.tmz.com/2019/07/18/katy-perry-dark-horse-song-copyright-lawsuit/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

whore 11,440 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Honestly, the tracks are so alike there's no denying it. However, I don't think Katy should be the one taken to court. It should be Dr. Luke, the one who produced the track. Katy has probably never even heard of that guy until the copyright battle started. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueerKekistani45 8 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I’m pretty sure the burden of publishing infringement or whatever is three or more notes in succession directly copied. IIrc Pharrell got in trouble because they got a whole litany of lawyers (on both sides since both parties are represented by major labels) and quantified the sales success of “Blurred Lines” and determined that the ubiquity of Marvin Gaye’s popular brand was of material marketing benefit. Katy’s track doesn’t seem to use the same notes, and the style allegedly copied doesn’t seem like it would be of particular cultural (i.e. monetary) value to the court. That being said, I think the merits of this case are likely irrelevant when you consider the lawyers Katy can afford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
