Mariah Carey Scores Victory in ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ Copyright Lawsuit as Judge Dismisses Case
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit claiming that Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' stole from another artist's song.
Mariah Carey scored a decisive victory over a 2023 copyright lawsuit from a songwriter who claimed that she stole elements from one of his songs for her classic hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Yesterday, a judge dismissed the copyright suit initially filed by Andy Stone, who performs as Vince Vance, stating that he hadn’t met the burden of proof to show that his 1989 song of the same name was copied. Additionally, the judge imposed sanctions for Vance to cover some or all of Carey’s attorneys’ fees as punishment for incurring “needless expenses responding to frivolous legal arguments and unsupported factual contentions.”
