Kanye - Made in America
not an infringement
Kanye West, Jay-Z and Frank
Ocean did not infringe copyright
with their track Made in America, a US
appeal court has found. Joel McDonald, known as Joel Mac, had claimed
that the song had infringed copyright
by taking its concept from his song,
also called Made in America. However,
a federal appeal court upheld an earlier decision that it did not. The court
found Mr McDonald’s arguments to
be ‘without merit’.
