Another lovely music lawsuit. Miley Cyrus sued by some investors who bought part of the rights to a Bruno Mars song. $$$$

This pisses me off. I don’t even like the Miley song very much, but it’s clear to me her song is in conversation with Bruno’s.  It’s a response, a different perspective. It’s not a rip off.

Bruno must be really desperate to get out of gambling debts.  Shame, because he's one of the few pop stars of late who has some songs (NOT YOU, LAZY!) I dig.

Bruno’s not the one doing the suing. I think he’s gone on record as being a fan of Miley’s songs actually. It’s one of the other songwriters on his song that sold their rights to it to some investment company that’s trying to make a profit.

You'd think that her legal team would have vetted out the possibility before she released the song. 

Not a fan of either artist...but all the same, this is just some group looking to squeeze her for some dollars.  Greed knows no bounds.  I doubt that her song diminished sales or could be mistaken for the Mars song in any way.  If anything, it probably generated interest.
