Music can bring people together, even across generations. However, a song can also tear them apart.
Some music is so polarizing, for a variety of reasons, that it might lead to a lawsuit.
Over the years, a multitude of major hits have had their day in court. Often, the artist responsible for the hit has been sued by another musician who feels that they’ve been ripped off or had their copyright infringed upon.
For instance, take the legal battle over “Blurred Lines,” which played out extensively in the press over the years. We promise more details on that are to come, by the way.
