New York CNN —Bad Bunny and some of the music industry’s biggest stars want a lawsuit that alleges copyright infringement of a 1989 song thrown out of court.
Lawyers from Freundlich Law representing Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, known as the superstar Bad Bunny, filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit Thursday, arguing the musical elements in question don’t fall under copyright protection.
Bad Bunny himself is accused in the lawsuit of copyright infringement for 77 songs, the motion said.
The lawsuit was originally filed in 2021.
Stars from Taylor Swift to Led Zeppelin have been involved in legal battles over their music.
