BREAKING NEWS:Adele song must be withdrawn globally over plagiarism claim, Brazilian judge rules
A judge in Brazil has ordered Adele’s 2015 song Million Years Ago to be removed globally, including from streaming services, due to a plagiarism claim by Brazilian composer Toninho Geraes.
Geraes, 62, is seeking royalties from Adele’s Million Years Ago, $160,000 (£127,000) in moral damages for the alleged plagiarism, and songwriting credit for the track, claiming his samba classic Mulheres influenced Adele’s song.
It is a landmark for Brazilian music, which … has often been copied to compose successful international hits,” Fredimio Trotta, the lawyer for Geraes was quoted as saying by AFP.
“International producers and artists who … have Brazilian music ‘on their radar’ for possible parasitic use will think twice, given this decision
The injunction imposes a fine of $8,000 (£6,300) “per act of non-compliance” on the Brazilian subsidiaries of Sony and Universal, Adele’s labels.
