Alisa Apps Files Lawsuit Against Universal Group and John Newman Music
LAS VEGAS, June 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Alisa Apps, singer-songwriter, has officially filed a lawsuit against the world's largest music label, Universal Music Group and John Newman.
According to Apps' lawyers, Philip P. Mann & Tim Billick, from Mann Law Group, the basis of the lawsuit is an alleged copyright infringement of Alisa Apps' song 'Need To Know'
Apps said, "I fully believe their copying of my song 'Need To Know' earned them great profits, won them coveted awards, topped many charts globally and in the USA. It's the song that launched Newman's career. Their use of my song has greatly wronged me!"
The allegedly purloined song, Love Me Again,
debuted at number one in the UK Singles Chart. It was nominated for a
Brit Award for British Single of the Year at the 2014 BRIT Awards and
nominated for the 2014 Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and
Lyrically.
Apps said, "When major record companies are
forced to resort to stealing songs to achieve #1s their creative process
is very clearly dead, and the world can see where the true talent lies.
As I sing in my song 'Victory Lap': 'Cooked music business got no talent.'"
She continued, "I
want to remind those who support me that this is not the first time this
has happened. I expect in the future to expose how unfair and crooked
these pop stars and major record labels are!"
