Brazilian judge orders Adele song be pulled from streaming services worldwide over plagiarism lawsuit


Adele has been accused of plagiarism as a Brazilian judge orders oneher song Million Years Ago to be pulled from streaming services worldwide.

The injunction was made by judge Victor Torres on Friday (December 13) in Rio de Janeiro's sixth commercial court, pending further activity in the continuing plagiarism case. Back when it was released in 2015 Turkish music lovers claimed the track was a rip-off of the 1985 song Acilara Tutunmak by Kurdish musician Ahmet Kaya. The song's release created a storm in Turkey, with some social media users accusing Adele of 'stealing' the melancholic tune from Kaya, who died in France in exile in 2000.
