Judge Rules Lawsuit Against Bad Bunny Targeting Hundreds of Reggaeton Songs Can Move Forward
The Bad Bunny reggaeton copyright lawsuit can move forward, a judge says. The plaintiffs are suing more than 150 artists including Drake and Karol G.
In the latest iteration, the duo’s lawyers name more than 150 artists, also including Pitbull, Drake, Daddy Yankee, Luis Fonsi and Justin Bieber, plus units of all three major music companies. Steely & Clevie’s lawyers claim that over 1,800 reggaetón songs featuring iterations of the dem bow rhythm were, at root, illegally copied from “Fish Market” — and that their clients deserve monetary compensation for them. Following Wednesday’s ruling, the case will proceed toward discovery, where both sides will exchange evidence, take depositions and seek expert testimony on complex questions relating to musicology.
