Ye döms att betala hundratusentals kronor efter upphovsrättsdom

En jury har funnit Kanye West, numera känd som Ye, och hans företag ansvariga för att ha samplat ett outgivet demolåt i en tidig version av hans låt Hurricane.

Domen föll på tisdagseftermiddagen i ett mål väckt av Artists Revenue Advocates å fyra musikers vägnar, vilka skapade beatet med titeln MSD PT2 i mars 2018. Ye hölls personligt ansvarig för 176 153 dollar, där Yeezy LLC blev skyldiga att betala samma belopp. Hans detaljhandelsföretag Yeezy Supply och Mascotte Holdings dömdes att betala 41 625 respektive 44 627 dollar.
