Artist Sues Disney for Copyright Infringement Over ‘Frozen 2’ Song
The Walt Disney Co., along with songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, are being sued for copyright infringement over the song “Some Things Never Change” from the Frozen II soundtrack, new reports reveal.
Musician Daniel Grigson filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Federal Court on Tuesday, Nov. 1, alleging that the songwriters copied parts of his song “That Girl,” including chord progressions, melodic structure and even some of the lyrics.
In the lawsuit, Grigson—who runs an education nonprofit called the Sprout Experience—says he has a “very public history of writing original music for and with children,” including “That Girl,” which he released with his band Neccos for Breakfast in 1999, according to Reuters. The song was reportedly streamed over 100,000 times on Trusonic through 2014, and is still available on other platforms.
