‘Virtually identical’! Demi Lovato has a NEW legal battle on her hands
It looks like Demi Lovato is in hot water again.
The singer has been hit with a lawsuit for copyright infringement.
Indie band Sleigh Bells claim that Demi's song Stars sounds nearly identical to their 2010 song Infinity Guitars.
According to E! News, who obtained court documents, Sleigh Bells claims that the songs are "virtually identical content" that "transcend the realm of coincidence."
The "comparison of the two songs reveals that, at the very least, the combination of the hand claps and bass drum, structured as 3 quarter beats and a rest, with the bass drum providing a counter-rhythm to the hand claps, is at least substantially similar in both works.
"This infringing material repeats throughout the Defendants' song."
Shortly after Demi's song was released late last year, Sleigh Bells took to Twitter to call Demi out, saying: "Flattered you guys sampled Infinity Guitars and Riot Rhythm for Stars but we were not contacted. Gotta clear those."
We're sure Demi wants this over and done with as soon as possible!
