Bindu De Knock: 'The Joyful noise of money. Katy Perry loses lawsuit'
Katy Perry and Capitol Records have been ordered to pay $ 2.78 M in damages to the copyright owners of the song ‘Joyful Noise’. Perry and her team of songwriters including Max Martin were found guilty of copying elements from Flame’s Joyful Noise. As a result of the established copyright infringement, Perry and her record company must pay damages to the Joyful Noise creators. Just like the Blurred Lines-case, this case too stretches the limits of copyright law to grant protection to ordinary musical expressions.
