A UK Music Publisher Accuses Chris Brown of Copyright Infringement
Superstar singer Chris Brown has been sued for copyright infringement over his track Privacy, released in March 2017 and taken from his album Heartbreak on a Full Moon.
A UK-based music publishing company called Greensleeves Publishing Ltd, which also has a US HQ in New York, alleges that Brown ripped off a 1997 dancehall track called Tight Up Skirt to create his track.
Sony Music Entertainment is also named in the seven page legal document, which was filed in New York on July 2.
The suit against Brown comes just a week after Atlanta rapper Kilo Ali, a.k.a Andrell Rodgers, sued US rap star NLE Choppa, alleging that the vocal chorus from his own song, Love in Ya Mouth, was ripped off to create the melody in NLE Choppa’s Make Em Say.
