Jury finds Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" Copied from 2009 Christian Rap Song

The jury selection is THE name of the game here folks. By not having pro musicians do the judging things like this happen. Now I am NOT a Katy Perry fan but I listened to the comparisons and the bass and kick groove lines are different. The melody [[or lack of melody) is different. The tempo is different and I said WTF!!
"Joyful Noise" vs. "Dark Horse". The madness continues.
The lawyers and Christian rappers win.

Good! The caught another one......!

Give the jury more credit than that. Her lawyer made all of those arguments in court. People can be educated about nuance and structure and still make their own minds up based on the totality of what they hear.
