Court Orders Global Ban on Adele’s Song Over Copyright Allegations

A Brazilian court has ordered the removal of a song by British singer Adele from radio and all streaming platforms globally over alleged copyright infringement.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the judge, Victor Torres, delivered the judgment after a Brazilian composer, Toninho Geraes, accused Adele of copying elements from his 1995 album.

Geraes claimed that Adele’s 2015 song Million Years Ago was copied from his 1996 classic Mulheres, originally performed by Brazilian singer Martinho da Vila.

Geraes is suing for lost royalties, demanding $160,000 in moral damages, and is also seeking a songwriting credit on Adele’s song.

The court further threatened the Brazilian subsidiaries of Sony and Universal with an $8,000 fine “per act of non-compliance.”
