Taylor Swift is facing a new copyright lawsuit

[Teletubby 150,306]

Taylor Swift is facing a new copyright lawsuit that claims she ripped off the book that accompanied her album Lover from a self-published book of poems under the same name.

In a complaint filed Tuesday in Tennessee federal court, author Teresa La Dart claimed that “a number of creative elements” from her 2010 book Lover were copied into Swift’s book – an extra bundled with the special-edition Lover CD that the New York Times called a “must-read companion” for Swifties.

Swift’s book infringes La Dart’s copyrights, La Dart’s lawyer wrote in the lawsuit, and the star now owes in “excess of one million dollars” in damages.

The alleged similarities between La Dart’s book and Swift’s book include covers that both feature “pastel pinks and blues,” as well as an image of the author “photographed in a downward pose.” La Dart also claims Swift copied the book’s “format,” namely “a recollection of past years memorialized in a combination of written and pictorial components.” La Dart says the inner book design – specifically that it’s composed of “interspersed photographs and writings” – also infringed her copyrights.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO this sh't needs to stop. If you want money, do something for it that's not stealing from famous figures.

If anything, (Taylor's) Lover's artwork looks like Teenage Dreams'

Unnatural-blue sky and pink clouds, since colors seem to be a reason to sue it wasn't meant to be taken seriously hence why the emoji (), but it's still WAY closer to Teenage Dream than it is to this woman's work lol

i love the Lover cover, the colors are so beautiful

 

but anyway, whats up with these lawsuits... do they really think Taylor googled "Lover", took the first book cover that came up and ran with it  its getting ridiculous

Judas had her moment

But most of the elements used in both are things commonly associated with love. I love Taylor but nothing about the aesthetic of this is original to either one of them. It’s like Bing Crosby suing Mariah Carey for talking about Christmas and wearing a Santa costume LOL

The rumor said she answered that about the BTW comparisons but she was sure to lose the trial tho.
