September 5, 20231 yr Dua Lipa will be happy to have that concluded. I'm very happy too! Â My 1 annoying friend kept going on about how Levitating was an example of plagiarism in music and now we have the facts
September 5, 20231 yr I think it's clear there WAS plagiarism of that System song. There might not be EVIDENCE they had access, but ... come on. The song is identical.
September 5, 20231 yr They are similar but it's not plagiarism. It was a coincidence. The System track had like 100 plays on SoundCloud when this story broke.
September 5, 20231 yr #Justice4ArtifikalSoundSystem!!!! THIS!!! These produers will know obscure sangs. I know sangs with like 13 listens/ views and that's just me!
March 28Mar 28 Justice has been served (almost) two years later. 😉Dua Lipa has won the dismissal of a second copyright-infringement lawsuit involving her 2020 smash "Levitating," which songwriters L. Russell Brown and Sandy Linzer claimed stole key elements of their songs "Wiggle and Giggle All Night" (1979) and "Don Diablo" (1980).Judge Katherine Polk Failla ruled on Thursday (3/27) that "a musical style, defined by plaintiffs as 'pop with a disco feel,' and a musical function, defined by plaintiffs to include 'entertainment and dancing,' cannot possibly be protectable," and commented, "To hold otherwise would be to completely foreclose the further development of music in that genre or for that purpose."Full article: https://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/legal/judge-dismisses-dua-lipa-levitating-infringement-suit
