Judge Aileen Cannon is requiring Taylor Swift to respond to a $7 million copyright infringement lawsuit brought by Kimberly Marasco.
Judge Aileen Cannon is requiring Taylor Swift to respond to the woman suing her for copyright infringement by Thursday.Kimberly Marasco is seeking more than $7 million in damages, arguing that Swift's songs and music videos have 'creative elements' that copy Marasco's work without authorization or credit. Marasco's complaint mentions several songs and videos from Swift's albums Lover, Folklore, Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department.
'A dismissal of the case at this stage would be unfair and waste judicial resources, especially since the plaintiff has made every effort to serve the defendant,' the document said.Marasco is also asking Cannon to allow 'alternative methods' of service, including posting the summons on the court's website, publishing a notice in the newspaper, sending first-class or certified mail to the last-known address or delivering the summons to a business owned by the defendant.
