Drake gets sued because of copy rights infringements

Young Money rapper Drakes Best I Ever Had hit is reportedly the target in a copyright infringement lawsuit filed this month by Playboy Enterprises.

WTF is going on, It must be Copyright infringement season because everyone is getting hit with this ish!!! Stop sampling and make you on tracks.

According to reports, the smash hit illegally samples another song.

The suit accuses Drake, Cash Money Records and Universal of Copyright Infringement. The song sampled at the beginning of Best I Ever Had is allegedly their song, Fallin In Love, byHamilton, Joe Frankand Dennison/Reynolds. The copyright for the music belongs to Playboy Music, Inc. and Plaintiff, Playboy Enterprises, is its successor in interest. Since Playboy claims that the infringing conduct is continuing and ongoing, they want the court to issue an injunction, which pretty much means that they want the defendants to stop selling/distributing the song, and to stop making money off of it. Of course, Playboy also wants Drake and his peeps to account for all profits, gains and advantages made off of their song, and they want Drake to pay costs and attorneys fees.

Playboy claims Drake and company likely had prior knowledge of the sample.

[They] knew or should have reasonably known, that the sound recording was protected by copyright and that each Defendant continues to infringe upon Plaintiffs rights in and to the copyrighted sound recording. (Rap Radar)
