Miley Cyrus is required to face last year’s pursuit on the similarities between his successful song Flowers And Bruno Mars’s ballad When I was your man.
A judge rejected Tuesday the request for the dismissal of Cyrus from a trial of Tempo Music Investments, noting a misunderstanding on Cyrus and the share of his legal team.
For those who took place, the Flowers Hitmaker was prosecuted in September 2024 by tempo music Investments, which has a copyright share for Mars’s Song after buying the rights of the catalog from the song of the song Philip Lawrence.
The company allegedly allegedly allegedly allegedly Cyrus in 2023 “Duplicate of many melodic, harmonic and lyrical elements” and that there was “a reproduction, distribution and an” unauthorized distribution of the 2013 March of March When I was your man.
FlowersThe Gregory HEIN and Michael Pollack songwriters were included among several defendants, as well as Sony Music Publishing and Apple. However, Mars, 39, was not appointed in the trial.
Tempo Music Investments requested an indefinite amount of damage in addition to asking the accused listed stop reproduction, distribution or public performance Flowers.
Cyrus denied allegations in November 2024 and submitted a file to reject the trial, claiming that only owners of exclusive rights can take legal action.
In the recent decision, the court declared that Cyrus and his lawyers had a “misunderstanding” of the preceding legal surrounding what “exclusive” means.
“The ownership of” exclusive rights “should not be confused with the” exclusive property “of rights. “Exclusive rights” are what belongs collectively to co -owners, “said order, by People magazine.
“Lawrence’s interest was a co -ownership participation in the exclusive copyright rights,” said the judge.
“By transferring all these interests, tempo now enters Lawrence’s shoes and is a co -owner of the exclusive copyright rights,” said the file.
In a press release, the lawyer for Tempo Music Investments said they were “delighted” but not “surprised” by the decision.
“Our client is looking forward to ensuring that this affair is resolved on its merits and is extremely confident in vigor,” said his lawyer Alex Weingarten.
