More lawsuits happening in the music industry. This time it involves a copyright infringement with Carly Rae Jepsen and Owl City's Adam Young. The duo are being sued by Alabama based singer/songwritier Allyson Nichole Burnett. The singer filed documents in California claiming the superstars duo "Good Time" hit copies the "unique vocal motif" and hook of her 2010 tune "Ah, It's a Love Song," which featured on her album The Takeover. |
In her lawsuit, Burnett states that "many consumers may incorrectly assume that Burnett copied her own original motif from the infringing songwriters due to the widespread popularity and publication of 'Good Time.'" Burnett insists that she has suffered "emotional and psychological damage" from fans asking why she copied the summertime hit. She also claims that her reputation as an independent artist will be "significantly damaged by such incorrect assumptions."
In addition to filing a lawsuit against Jepsen and Young, Billboard also reports that she is suing Universal Music Group, Songs Music Publishing and Schoolboy Records.
