Justin Bieber and Usher have won in a lawsuit that claimed they had stolen and copied the 2010 song, “Somebody to Love,” reports the Hollywood Reporter.
The plaintiffs and songwriters in the case were Devin “De Rico” Copeland and Mareio Overton, they filed the copyright infringement accusations in a Virginia court last year, they demanded $10 million in damages.
However, US district judge Arenda Allen dismissed the claims with prejudice on Friday March 28th, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In her judgement, judge Allen wrote:
The songs cannot be reasonably construed as being substantially similar. Although the accused songs have some elements in common with Plaintiffs’ song, their mood, tone, and subject matter differ significantly.
S basically, Justin was being sued by people who thought that he stole their song but he obviously didn’t steal anything because the judge says that even thought they seem to be alike, they are not, they are actually very different if you closely compare the two songs so Justin won.
