Kanye West sagt vor Gericht in Los Angeles in Urheberrechtsstreit aus

Kanye West, heute als Ye bekannt, trat am Mittwoch in einem Urheberrechtsstreit in der Innenstadt von Los Angeles in den Zeugenstand. Er sah sich Fragen zu einem mutmaßlich nicht lizenzierten Sample gegenüber, das in seinem Song Hurricane verwendet wurde.

Der Künstler zeigte sich während seiner Aussage sichtlich irritiert. Nach einer Mittagspause blieb er bei der Begrüßung durch den gegnerischen Anwalt stumm und beantwortete viele Fragen mit einem monotonen „Ich kann mich nicht erinnern“. Im Zentrum des Falls stehen Forderungen, dass Ye mehr als eine halbe Million Dollar schuldet, weil er bei einer Listening-Session im Jahr 2021 in Atlanta ein Sample des Titels MSD PT2 ohne Genehmigung verwendet haben soll.
