Post Malone Wins Part of the ‘Circles’ Copyright Lawsuit
Singer Post Malone on Monday defeated some copyright claims brought in Los Angeles federal court by a former collaborator who said he deserves credit for Malone’s number-one hit song “Circles.”
The court said Tyler Armes had no rights in the final version of “Circles” but allowed his lawsuit to go to trial to determine whether he has rights in an early version of the song.
U.S. District Judge Otis Wright said a verdict for Armes on that claim would still be a “significant win” for him and entitle him to some profits from the commercially released version.
