Comment: I don't get how you READ that the District Court "dismissed" the copyright infringement lawsuit (as in Beyonce won) to "THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME BEYONCE STOLED LYRICS." The ruling was that the tracks were not "substantially similar" meaning she didn't steal the song. The losing Plaintiff is not appealing the decision... but the Plaintiff hasn't won. Reading Comprehension people.

Comment: Correction: Should have been "The losing Plaintiff is noW appealing ..."

Comment: Most artists steal ideas from the people that go back stage and audition for them. A lot of rapper's do that. And since the person/group or whatever does not know about or how to go about copyrighting their lyrics and concepts, it's easy for the established artist to do it.

Comment: Don't mean to be a Beyonce defender or anything but the general statements about rappers and singers (or what you might have heard about B doesn't really fly). In THIS case, a FEDERAL district court JUDGE HEARD the two songs and compared them and FOUND as a matter of law that they were NOT "substantially similar." There was a determination on this song. This has nothing to do with whether the song was copyrighted or not. Under copyright law, the work is protected upon creation once it is "fixed in a tangible medium" of expression (paper, tape, hard drive, CD, etc). The question in this case was whether it appeared that these two songs were similar... and a judge found after listening to them that they were not. After such a finding, the woman who filed suit will have a very difficult undoing the ruling through the Appeals court. An appeals court looks for "legal error." Even if they disagree with the findings, they cannot and will not overturn the decision unless they can say that the decision below was "not reasonable" and that the lower court judge "abused its discretion." So B's position is legally in great shape due to the finding on the similarity question.
