In a significant development in the music industry, pop sensation Dua Lipa has successfully defended herself against accusations of plagiarism in a copyright case surrounding her hit song “Levitating”. The lawsuit, which was filed against Lipa and her collaborators, alleged that “Levitating” borrowed heavily from the 1979 disco track “Wiggle and Giggle All Night” by the band The Electric Boogie Boys.
The case, which has been ongoing for some time, centered on claims that Lipa’s song infringed on the copyright of “Wiggle and Giggle All Night” by incorporating elements of the song’s composition, melody, and rhythm without proper clearance or credit. However, after careful consideration and a thorough examination of the evidence, the court has ruled in Lipa’s favor, dismissing the allegations of plagiarism and upholding the originality and creativity of “Levitating”.
This verdict is a significant victory for Lipa and her team, who have consistently maintained that “Levitating” is an original work that does not infringe on the rights of other artists. The outcome of this case serves as a testament to the importance of protecting intellectual property rights in the music industry, while also acknowledging the creative freedom and originality that artists bring to their work. With this legal hurdle now cleared, Lipa can continue to focus on her music and entertaining her fans around the world.
