Drake is also mentioned in the lawsuit, along with Sony Music and YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>filed by Marc A. Stephens and Tykeiya Dore, who claim that Chris Brown&#8217;s song violates their copyrighted song &#8220;I Got It,&#8221; which they have attempted to have resolved in the past. Stephens filed numerous notices of copyright infringement with YouTube and Sony Music Entertainment on Dore&#8217;s behalf, requesting that Brown&#8217;s song be taken down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/radiantmedia.io\/2024\/10\/23\/50-cent-recalls-giving-drake-this-advice-following-kendrick-lamar-beef\/\">50 Cent Recalls Giving Drake This Advice Following Kendrick Lamar Beef<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to alleged responses from Brown&#8217;s team, there is no significant similarity between the two songs and the claim &#8220;lacks merit&#8221; as it is because it is based on unprotectable ideas. They also contend that Dore is unable to demonstrate that Brown had access to her song, which is required to establish intentional infringement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"http:\/\/radiantmedia.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/USATSI_9116623_168415290_lowres-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35765\" srcset=\"http:\/\/radiantmedia.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/USATSI_9116623_168415290_lowres-980x652.jpg 980w, http:\/\/radiantmedia.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/USATSI_9116623_168415290_lowres-480x319.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After first suspending Stephens&#8217; account, YouTube decided not to take down Brown&#8217;s music video.
