Beyonce Wins Copyright Infringement Case

Court dismisses songwriter's claims...

Beyonce Wins Copyright Infringement Case
Share

Beyonce Knowles has won a copyright infringement case against an unknown songwriter who claims the star stole her song to create her global hit ‘Baby Boy’.

Jennifer Armour alleged that she had submitted the track for consideration to Mathhew Knowles, Beyonce’s father and manager.

However, The Fifth Court of Appeals in the USA ruled in favour of the former Destiny’s Child singer after being satisfied by evidence showing that ‘Baby Boy’ has already been finished when Armour submitted her track.

The case was dismissed with no reasonable evidence available to show that the two tracks were in fact the same song.

In a statement Beyonce said of the ruling: “It's unfortunate that we had to endure this long legal process but I am hopeful this decision will allow all of us that were involved to finally move on."
