Lawyer Reacts To Miley Cyrus "Flowers" Lawsuit | Inspiration vs. Infringement

In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses the lawsuit Miley Cyrus is facing over her song "Flowers," which allegedly infringes on Bruno Mars' hit "When I Was Your Man." Miss Krystle breaks down the details of interpolation, explaining how it differs from sampling and cover songs, and why it's central to this case. The complaint was filed by Tempo Music Investments, a company that owns a portion of the copyright for Bruno Mars' song, claiming there are significant similarities between the two tracks. Miss Krystle also dives into the business side of music ownership and how major labels and investment firms use infringement claims as a strategy.
Miss Krystle also examines how copyright infringement cases hinge on proving access, substantial similarities, and intent. She explains how these types of cases can result in massive payouts for plaintiffs, with statutory damages potentially reaching up to $150,000 per infringement. The lawsuit could force Miley Cyrus to publicly reveal the inspiration behind her song, sparking even more interest in the case. Tune in for a detailed breakdown and analysis, plus insights on how artists can protect their work in the ever-evolving music industry.
