The lawsuit was for copyright infringement over alleged plagiarism involved with Radiohead\u2019s hit <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creep<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and Del Rey\u2019s 2017 song from her latest album <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Free<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The basis of the lawsuit is that the chord progression and vocal rhythm in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Free\u2019s <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">verses are the same as Radiohead\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creep.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ironically, Radiohead themselves were faced with a copyright infringement suit for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creep<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The band was forced to give up a percentage of royalties and give songwriting credit to 70s band The Hollies, for its similarity to their song <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Air That I Breathe. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The music industry is no stranger to copyright infringement lawsuits, especially in recent years. 2017 saw the release of the blockbuster single <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shape Of You <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/ed-sheerans-latest-album-divides-quality\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Ed Sheeran<\/span><\/a>. It recently became the most-streamed song of all time, but its success can\u2019t be solely attributed to Sheeran\u2019s songwriting talent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheeran was sued for copyright infringement by TLC over the song for copying elements of their 90s hit <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No Scrubs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The case was ruled in the plaintiffs\u2019 favor, and the writers behind <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No Scrubs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are now credited as songwriters for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shape Of You<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most famous contemporary examples is the lawsuit by Marvin Gaye\u2019s family against Robin Thicke for<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Blurred Lines<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because of its melodic similarity to Gaye\u2019s<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Got To Give It Up<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, the judge evaluated stripped-down versions of both songs. This was done so that the basis for copyright infringement, the melodies, were not obscured by the songs\u2019 comparable production. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the witness stand, Thicke demonstrated how many popular songs have similar components by playing songs by The Beatles and Michael Jackson over a single chord progression. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thicke also used the ownership defense, arguing that the Gaye family did not own the rights to the song, to deny the infringement claim. However, Thicke, Pharrell Williams, and T.I were ultimately forced to give up $5.3 million to Marvin Gaye\u2019s estate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since there are a limited amount of possible chord changes and musical notes, each song that is ever copyrighted makes it more difficult for subsequent compositions to be totally unique. Moreover, these mercenary lawsuits create a culture where musicians are afraid to draw from their influences in fear of being sued into bankruptcy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Del Rey\u2019s case, the loss of a percentage of royalties for<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Get Free<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would have a minor effect on her net worth as the track was not a single on the album. In Sheeran\u2019s case, the loss might be more noticeable, as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shape Of You <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is the biggest hit of his career. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, for artists who are less well-known, a copyright infringement suit can be devastating. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only time will tell whether the music industry chooses to value artistry over the potential to make millions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Jan. 7, singer\/songwriter Lana Del Rey tweeted that she was being sued by English alternative band Radiohead.
