Lawyers resorted to puns to make their case: “Defendants have 'levitated' away plaintiffs’ intellectual property [and] 'wiggle' out of their willful infringement.”
It’s almost become a model in recent years: If a song’s a hit, the copyright-infringement lawsuits follow, andwas clobbered with two of them in four days last week.
“The signature melody is the most listened to and recognizable part of the infringing works and plays a crucial role in their popularity,” they wrote. “Because video creators frequently truncate the already brief snippets of sound on TikTok, the signature melody often comprises fifty percent or more of these viral videos.”
“In seeking nostalgic inspiration, defendants copied plaintiffs’ creation without attribution,” they wrote. The complaint also names as defendants Warner Music Group, guest rapper DaBaby , and others involved in the song.
