The singer’s 2014 hit is accused of ripping off 3LW’s 2000 song, “Playas Gon’ Play.”
, who wrote music for the early 2000S R&B group 3LW According to a lawsuit, Swift’s 2014 hit “Shake it Off” bares a strong resemblance to 3LW’s “Playas Gon Play.”
The claims have been floating around the music industry for years now, and a judge just ruled that the case will see court. Here’s everything we know about the situation so far., Hall and Butler originally filed the lawsuit against Swift in September of 2017. It was brought to Judge Fitzgerald, who decided to dismiss the case in 2018, before it was returned to him by the U.S Court of Appeals.
In addition to Swift, other defendants in the case include the producers Max Martin and Shellback, the music publishers Sony and Kobalt, Big Machine Label Group and Universal Music Group.In their lawsuit, Hall and Butler call the chorus of “Shake it Off” into question.
In his original ruling, Fitzgerald decided the lyrics were, “too brief, unoriginal, and uncreative” to be protected under the Copyright Act. “In the early 2000s, popular culture was adequately suffused with the concepts of players and haters to render the phrases ‘playas … gonna play’ or ‘haters … gonna hate’ standing on their own, no more creative than ‘runners gonna run,’ ‘drummers gonna drum,’ or ‘swimmers gonna swim,’” he wrote in his February 2018 order.On Thursday, Swift's request to “throw out” the copyright infringement suit was denied by Fitzgerald.
