Beyonce gets sued.....again!

[LegalChef]

I smell something fishy. Supposedly, the song wasn't even supposed to be on the re-release, but it got tacked on at the last minute. And the video was done to make it look like a "home-movie" or something private. Hmmm... sounds like somebody started spinning it ahead of time.

At least, Des'ree isn't asking for millions of dollars, though.

I only had to watch like 45 seconds of the video to "hear" the copyright infringement.

She deserves to be sued.

yeah co-sign - get that money des'ree!

(but why only 150K? guess shes being modest?)

"Kissing You" is such a beautiful song. I really think Des'ree should have asked for more.

She said that she's always loved the song and when she remade it, everyone told her she was crazy if she didn't include it so (at the last minute) she did. But they were still working out the details of the copyright all the way up to the day of the release. If you haven't gotten permission, how about you push back your release until you get it???

I don't know what Des'ree is asking for so little. But stopping the distribution of the album (which B agreed to) is what's really gonna hurt her, so I guess it was a smart move in that sense, but she definitely should've gotten more. I'm just glad I got mine before it got pulled. It's so beautiful--I need my own copy!
