Katy Perry wins appeal over Dark Horse plagiarism lawsuit

Katy Perry wins appeal over Dark Horse plagiarism lawsuit The hitmaker and several others were ordered to pay $2.78 million in damages after a jury ruled the 2013 hit copied a Christian rap song.

The singer was told she would have to fork out $550,000 and that her label Capital Records owed nearly $1.3 million after a federal jury in Los Angeles found parts of Katy's tune resembled Flame's 2008 song 'Joyful Noise'.

Katy's five collaborators were also told to stump up $253,000, and Dr Luke's company Kasz Money Inc owed $189,000, while he was ordered to pay $61,000 personally.

However, on Tuesday (17.03.20), Judge Christina A.

Snyder issued a ruling to reverse the jury's verdict, stating that the part of the song used as evidence was not "rare" enough to warrant copyright protection.
