- Title
Got To Give It Up: Why United States Courts Should Stop Hearing Music Copyright Infringement Cases and Allow Experts to Determine "Substantial Similarity".
- Authors
Bernard, Alexander J. Loverich
- Abstract
The article focuses on proposing a new approach to resolving music copyright infringement cases, arguing that the current system used by U.S. courts leads to inconsistent and confusing determinations of "substantial similarity" between musical compositions. It examines the adverse effects of landmark cases such as Williams v. Gaye, Skidmore v. Led Zeppelin, and Gray v. Hudson on creativity in the music industry.
