The girl group sang “Playas, they gonna play / And haters, they gonna hate,” while Swift sang “[T]he players gonna play, play, play, play, play and the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.”
The deal comes a month before trial was scheduled to start on Jan. 17 in the dispute that ran for over five years. The case swung on whether the lyrics from Hall and Butler are protectable under federal copyright law. U.S. District Judge Michael Fitzgerald found they weren’t, concluding that the allegedly infringing lines are “short phrases that lack the modicum of originality and creativity” required to allege copyright infringement. He dismissed the suit.
“[B]y 2001, American popular culture was heavily steeped in the concepts of players, haters, and player haters,” Fitzgerald wrote. “The concept of actors acting in accordance with their essential nature is not at all creative; it is banal.”
