SYNOPSIS

A $10 million copyright lawsuit against Justin Bieber and Usher was reinstated after judges on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals listened to the song they were accused of stealing, written by Devin Copeland, an R&B singer known as De Rico, and his songwriting partner Mareio Overton. The lyrics in the chorus are also "Somebody to Love." Do you think these sounds similar?

Circuit Judge Pamela Harris wrote for the appeals court: "After listening to the Copeland song and the Bieber and Usher songs as wholes, we conclude that their choruses are similar enough and also significant enough that a reasonable jury could find the songs intrinsically similar."
