Copyright Infringement On Beyonce!


Beyonce is in the middle of a copyright infringement lawsuit that caused her record label to pull all CDs featuring the Des'ree remake, "Still in Love (kissing You).

"Superstar Beyonce Knowles has withdrawn the deluxe edition of her latest album B'Day from sale, after British singer Des'ree launched a lawsuit, accusing her of ignoring copyright rules. Des'ree filed a lawsuit in Manhattan, New York last Wednesday, alleging Knowles never obtained proper clearance to use her song Kissing You.

As a result, Knowles' record label bosses have agreed to temporarily halt distribution of the CDs that include the track, reports MTV.
The terms stated Knowles couldn't re-title the song or film a video using the track. Knowles recorded the track as Still In Love (Kissing You) for the deluxe edition.

Des'ree is seeking $150,000 in damages."

1) Everyone needs to buy a copy of teh CD, cuz it will be a collector's item and one day be worth money on Ebay. I'm all about collective consumerism...let's all make some money.

I'm just sayin'.

2) As much as I am lovin' B right now (now that she's calmed down a bit), the original is such a classic, it should be covered -- not changed.
