Drake〈Janice STFU〉抄袭诉讼被原告撤销:提告不到两周落幕,Drake 团队此前全盘否认

据 Billboard 报道,指控加拿大歌手 Drake 剽窃歌曲〈Janice STFU〉副歌的版权诉讼已被原告主动撤销,距提告不到两周。
起诉者是词曲作者 Aviel Hirschfield。他本月稍早提告称,Drake 收录于专辑《ICEMAN》的热门单曲〈Janice STFU〉,其副歌与他送交制作组合 FnZ 的小样「逐字逐音」相同,要求获得共同创作署名并追溯分享版税。Drake 团队随即向 Billboard 发表声明全盘否认,称相关指控「毫无真实性可言」,并指原告操纵了音频元数据。10月27日,原告自愿撤诉,撤诉原因未公布。〈Janice STFU〉曾登上 Billboard Hot 100 榜首两周,流媒体播放量超过3.7亿次,是 Drake 自2018年以来最大的热门单曲之一。(来源:Billboard)
Drake 'Janice STFU' Copyright Lawsuit Dropped by Accuser Less Than Two Weeks After Filing
A copyright lawsuit accusing Drake of stealing the chorus of his hit 'Janice STFU' has been voluntarily dropped by the accuser less than two weeks after it was filed, Billboard reported.
Songwriter Aviel Hirschfield sued earlier this month, alleging that the chorus of 'Janice STFU' — from Drake's album 'ICEMAN' — was copied word-for-word and note-for-note from a demo he had sent to production duo FnZ, and seeking a co-writing credit and a retroactive share of publishing royalties. Drake's team categorically denied the allegations in a statement to Billboard, saying there was 'not one iota of truth' to them and accusing the plaintiff of manipulating metadata. On Oct. 27, Hirschfield voluntarily dismissed the suit; the reason for the withdrawal was not disclosed. 'Janice STFU' spent two weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and has drawn more than 370 million streams. (Source: Billboard)
