Court Dismisses Lawsuit Claiming Lil Nas X Copied Instagram Posts
An appeals court dismissed a claim against Lil Nas X by an artist who claimed copyright infringement over alleged copied poses in Instagram posts.
“It is not enough to simply allege that [Lil Nas] is an active user of Instagram and thus had a reasonable possibility of viewing Woodland’s photos,” Judge Kenneth K. Lee said. According to court documents obtained by Rolling Stone, Woodland’s photos were shared between August 2018 and July 2021 and 12 posts on his account related to the alleged infringement received between eight and 75 likes. Of the eight photos Lil Nas X shared that Woodland believes ripped off his posts, the musician received hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of likes.
