Remember when Lee Hyori plagiarized like half her discography?

(I don't remember if anything came of the lawsuit tbh)

[zoaster_toaster]

Apparently the Matt Cardle/Ed Sheeran lawsuit was privately settled (no disclosed sum and no admission of guilt).

I hope he made bank because that song was STOLEN!

Oblig - I hate Ed Sheeran who is a hack

[burntxtoashes]

Ooh interesting...I guess his karma was the Shape Of You plagiarism blowing up so publicly.

I recently heard the song that Avril's Girlfriend copied while out and I was shocked at how blatant is was. I vaguely remember it being an issue, but hopefully they got PAID.

I was a fool who bought that paris album and that is the craziest comparison lmao I don't buy it at all

I mean dr luke produced both tracks... I think "u + ur hand" by pink has also been criticized for borrowing the same beat/chord progression.

[trendsnational]

U + Ur Hand was def taken from The Veronicas i think.
