"..According to the document filed at U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles, just before closing time, Playboy Enterprises claims that Drake and company need to pay them for the use of their song, [Best I Ever Had]. Yes, we’re talking about Playboy, as in Hef’s company. They’re claiming Drake stole part of their song.
"The suit accuses Drake , Cash Money Records and Universal of Copyright Infringement. The song sampled at the beginning of “Best I Ever Had” is allegedly their song, “Fallin’ In Love,” by Hamilton, Joe Frank and Dennison/Reynolds. The copyright for the music belongs to Playboy Music, Inc. and Plaintiff, Playboy Enterprises, is its successor in interest.
Hit the jump to read more and compare the 2 songs.
"As part of their copyright claim, Playboy claims that Drake and his crew “knew or should have reasonably known, that the sound recording was protected by copyright…” and that “each Defendant continues to infringe upon Plaintiff’s rights in and to the copyrighted sound recording.”
"Since Playboy claims that the “infringing conduct is continuing and ongoing,” they want the court to issue an injunction, which pretty much means that they want the defendants to stop selling/distributing the song, and to stop making money off of it. Of course, Playboy also wants Drake and his peeps to account for all profits, gains and advantages made off of their song, and they want Drake to pay costs and attorneys’ fees. -TilaOMG
This is a definite jack.. someone's gonna get fired.. In my opinion, if the joint was produced by Boi-1da, he is really the one who is really responsible [or irresponsible] for not revealing the sample.
Listen to a quick comparison I put together
