Singer Katy Perry and her 2013 track ‘Dark Horse’ collaborators have filed an appeal against the July decision that found them liable to the tune of $2.78 million for plagiarising elements of their song from a 2008 Christian rap song.
###
Perry was accused by Marcus Gray of copying his song ‘Joyful Noise’.
###
According to Variety, the defendants are asking the California courts to overturn or at least grant a new trial on “the legally unsupportable jury verdicts in this music copyright infringement case that are widely recognised within the music industry — and beyond — as a grave miscarriage of justice. The erroneous verdicts in this case and the precedent established thereby present serious harm to music creators and to the music industry as a whole.”
###
Katy’s lawyers stated that the plaintiffs do not have enough evidence.
###
“Plaintiffs did not offer proof of one single digital or brick-and-mortar sale of ‘Joyful Noise’ or (the album) ‘Our World Redeemed’ and admitted that they have no such evidence,” the appeal read.
