Bad Bunny and some of the music industry’s biggest stars want a lawsuit that alleges copyright infringement of a 1989 song thrown out of court
. Lawyers from Freundlich Law representing Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, known as the superstar Bad Bunny, filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit Thursday, arguing the musical elements in question don’t fall under copyright protection. A lawsuit filed by lawyers for Jamaican reggae producers Steely & Clevie claimed more than 100 artists and labels infringed copyright on a rhythm in their song “Fish Market.
Bad Bunny’s lawyers claim the characteristics cited by the plaintiffs, including rhythm, instrument choices and parts of synthesized sounds and timbre, are the building blocks of the entire genre, and that potentially copyrightable elements, such as melody and lyrics, are not included in the plaintiffs’ case.
