U.S. District Court Dolly M. Gee on Friday granted Lizzo's motion to dismiss the brothers' counterclaims, agreeing with the artist that a "joint author of one copyrightable work does not automatically gain ownership of a derivative work."
"Without deciding who, in fact, authored the songs at issue, and without reviewing the songs’ recordings or lyrics, the Court can determine that Counterclaimants allege that the parties collaborated on, and finalized, one song — Healthy — before Lizzo allegedly copied portions of that song to make Truth Hurts," writes Gee.
But Gee is allowing the Raisens leave to amend, finding that a section of their opposition to Lizzo's suit indicates "they now intend to allege that their collaboration with Lizzo in creating Healthy was part and parcel of the creative process that led to a single finished work, Truth Hurts.
She also struck several of the writers' affirmative defenses to Lizzo's suit, finding them either boilerplate or irrelevant to the claims at issue.
I try not to get political, but this just lowkey made my day.

. (edited, reposted) No knowledge Lizzo claims to be a theorist of any kind, inventor, blogger, or poet. Not my kind of music. I’ve never had any connection to any famous person, nor tried to contact one. Any would be staged lies

Stuart Stevens: Acceptance of Trump’s racism is a ‘haunting truth’ of the current Republican partyStuart Stevens, author of “It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump,” discusses how the Republican Party evolved from “compassion and conservatism” to a party that has accepted Donald Trump’s racism. He tells Lawrence O’Donnell, “you don’t have to be a racist to support Donald Trump, but ultimately you have to be comfortable with having a racist as the president.” Like father like son, like about 35% of the American public. Name one 'RACIST' thing that he has done? Everything he has done was for the good of EVERY American. I doubt any of you even know what the definition of a racist really is!!! Umm has anyone ever listened to joe Biden? Really?
