tell me how this isn't the exact same intellectual property?
what's the point of copyrights if you can override them this easily? How is this fair to Scooter ?
She can prolly just call each song an interpolation
that confuses me though bc you gotta give publishing credit when you do that

She can give credit but still owns the rights to her own song
Idk industry politics are weird
I thought scooter sold her masters
ok it seems he bought then sold, so Scooter already took his dub. but how is this fair to the investment fund that paid $300 million + for them?
it's not an identical re-recording. she made a better song
its virtually identical
The fact that it’s not identical is irrelevant. Copyright law works on whether the material is similar to a strong quality (i.e. not the quantity; though in this case it clearly satisfies both).
My guess is that she’s probably infringing the intellectual property and is breaching copyright, but Scooter/his label as the owner of the initial IP probably isn’t bringing a claim. There’s probably an agreement between the parties, as they’ve already made their money from it.

I think he'll be fine
