Judge eviscerates singer suing Grammy winners for copying song 'played 670 times
A singer attempting to sue Tiësto and Karol G for $50,000,000 for copying their song has been slammed by the judge who dismissed the case. Don't Be Shy was a breakout dance hit from the Columbian singer in 2021, marking the first time she sang in English on a track. The collaboration with Dutch DJ Tiësto charted globally, peaking at number four in the US electronic charts and number one in Mexico. However, songwriter Rene Lorente claimed it infringed upon his song Algo Diferente, released in 2000. A federal judge in Florida has now thrown out the case after ruling he failed to meet basic requirements to proceed with the claim, according to Rolling Stone. For copyright claims, there must be evidence that the defendant directly copied the work, or had access to the material, and there is 'substantial similarity' between the two. Part of the scathing 17-page ruling said Lorente made 'no attempt to offer proof of direct copying', challenging his claims that being on streaming meant they had access. 'Plaintiff points only to [his song's] presence on digital platforms and inclusion in niche albums as proof that Tiësto and Karol G heard his song. No reasonable jury could find access on such a record,' Chief U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga wrote. According to the ruling, the song had been played 670 times on YouTube and streamed 2,718 times on Spotify, as of June 2022. The inability to meet this proof qualifier meant much of the case fell on the testimony of his designated musicologist, former Capitol Records A&R executive Richie Viera. The judge claimed Viera 'declined' to define music terms in the deposition and couldn't say if the song changed from major to minor key. Viera also allegedly declined to explain principles like the 'circle of fifths', which was used in both songs. She added that the report 'misidentifies the chords and keys of each song' and failed to take into account songs released before Lorente's that had similar elements. 'These lapses only reinforce the conclusion that Viera lacks the expertise to perform the kind of comparative analysis his report purports to offer,' she stated. Viera's opinion was said to lack the 'intellectual rigor' to be considered reliable in a court of law. Lorente's lawyer, Patrick Frank, told Rolling Stone he 'respected' the ruling but an appeal is planned for a later date. He added it is 'illustrative of the significantly high barriers to entry' faced by musicians when 'in the unenviable position of having to face off against an industry that has unlimited resources and has no reservation as to dispatching those self-same resources to prevent composers of modest means from asserting their rights.' More Trending Karol G and Tiësto's lead lawyer said the lawsuit had 'no merit' and there was 'no evidence of access'. 'One of the frustrating things that we heard throughout this case from the plaintiff was that [our clients] stole his life legacy, his defining work, but there was no evidence of access,' he shared. 'This was an obscure song that didn't have any traction. There was no commercial success. It was on self-distributed albums. And more importantly, there was existing prior art. 'The alleged similarities were based on a very common music building block, which is the circle of fifths, which has been around literally since Mozart.' Got a story?

6 pricey perfumes celebrities actually wear and don't get paid to promote
Celebrities endorse everything from clothing to make-up and fragrances, but that doesn't mean they use them. From Justin Bieber to Olivia Rodrigo, here's a list of what perfumes they actually use It's not about the clothes or the accessories, but perfume can say a lot about a person. When it comes to famous people, it's not weird to want to know what our favourite celebrity smells like, right? Many of us get drawn into buying a perfume just because our favourite celebrity is endorsing it. Many celebrities collaborate with high-end brands to promote certain fragrances, while some even come up with their own perfume brands. But sometimes they end up wearing other scents than the ones that they are paid to endorse. If you've ever wanted to smell like your favourite A-lister, this is your chance. Just a heads up, they're quite expensive. The Mirror have compiled a list of perfumes celebrities actually wear. Rihanna - Kilian Love, Don't Be Shy - £225.00 Rihanna owns the makeup and fragrance brand Fenty Beauty. Her company offers a wide range of cosmetics, skincare, and fragrance products. Nonetheless, that's not what the singer allegedly smells like on a day-to-day basis. According to Harper's Bazaar, Rihanna's go-to scent is Don't Be Shy by Kilian Love. Back in 2016, the singer filmed a video with her friend @StylishGent, where he revealed that the singer was wearing this perfume. In short, RiRi smells like a marshmallow, vanilla and orange combined - which makes total sense. Taylor Swift - Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford - £237.45 What does the biggest pop star in the world, Taylor Swift, smell like? A scene from her 2020 Netflix documentary Miss Americana shows the singer backstage during a show of her Reputation tour, which seemed to have revealed her favourite fragrance brand as Tom Ford, as a bottle of Tom Ford's Santal Blush appeared on the frame. But, Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille is believed to be her actual signature scent, which is a rich, warm blend of vanilla and smoky tobacco. As per Cosmopolitan, the singer admitted to having worn Tom Ford during the 2024 VMA Awards. Ariana Grande - Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford - £222.00 Ariana Grande has released 10 perfume lines, based on the titles of her albums. Although the singer has publicly admitted to using her own perfumes, with her favourite one being MOD Vanilla EDP, she also opts for other popular scents. The singer smells like Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino, Yahoo! News revealed. It's a Mediterranean-inspired scent, featuring a citrusy-fresh aroma including neroli, bergamot, and Sicilian lemon. Going back to her Italian roots, it also reflects her youthful spirit with an elegant, warm twist. Olivia Rodrigo - Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 During an interview with GQ Magazine, Olivia Rodrigo revealed that her favourite perfume was Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Despite its hefty price tag, its smell is just so heavenly, with notes of jasmine, saffron, ambergris mineral and cedar. It also isn't the first time that Olivia shared her go-to perfume, as during an interview with Vogue in 2021, she said to 'like perfumes that have a natural musk.' Not only does it suit her charismatic persona, but it also transmits some of her some bold character! Harry Styles - Gucci's Mémoire D'une Odeur - £71.00 Despite his global success, Harry Styles keeps it pretty simple when it comes to fragrances. As written by Huda Beauty 's blog, the British singer's signature scent, Mémoire D'une Odeur by Gucci, isn't only the cheapest on the list, but it's also a genderless fragrance. Not only is the bottle so pretty and chic, the perfume has a combination of chamomile, Indian jasmine, bitter almond as well as woodsy notes including sandalwood and cedarwood. Although it leans more towards the feminine side, Harry Styles is the person that can definitely pull it off. Justin Bieber - Le Labo Santal 33 - £170.00 Just like Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber has also released fragrances of his own during the early stages of his hugely successful singing career. But what does he wear daily? Well, it's Le Labo Santal 33. What's so special about this unisex scent is that it combines cardamom with notes of iris and violet. It's also slightly woodsy and smoky, creating a unique fragrance that's just so addicting and comforting.
