Olivia Dean ‘Art of Loving’ Song Faces Lawsuit Claiming It Was Copied From ‘Just the Two of Us’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new lawsuit claims that a track on Olivia Dean’s hit album The Art Of Loving was copied from Bill Withers’ iconic “Just the Two of Us” — and says that the similarities are “obvious and inescapable.” The copyright case, filed Thursday (Oct. 1) by a publisher that owns Withers’ catalog, alleges that key elements of Dean’s “I’ve Seen It” were stolen from the famed 1980 song, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and more recently had a second life as a viral sound on TikTok. “Upon listenin

Michael Smith, 54, admitted in March to using AI to generate thousands of songs and streaming them billions of times with bots. But last week, he said he deserved no prison time, arguing the harm to any single artist was “insignificant” and “no victim suffered any real harm.” In
Dolly Parton Estate Battle, Jay-Z Accuser Recants, Sam Smith Ruling & More Top Music Law News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE BIG STORY: The late great Dolly Parton once told Billboard that she was putting her affairs in order because you don’t want to leave a “mess to your family for people to have to fight over.” But just a month after her death, family litigation is here anyway. In a lawsuit filed last week, her estate claimed that her nephew and longtime head of security, Bryan Seaver, tried to extort money since her death by sending violent threats like “I’m a killer” and “all I do is warfare.” Seaver denies t
