Last year Kanye West was sued by a Chicago rapper who claims Kanye stole the hook for his hit song Stronger from him [click here if you missed that].
If that's the case, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche should be suing both of them...
A federal judge ruled on Monday
“Although the fact that both songs quote from a 19th century German philosopher might, at first blush, seem to be an unusual coincidence, West correctly notes that the aphorism has been repeatedly invoked in song lyrics over the past century.”
“We are not persuaded that the similarities alleged by Vince P rise to the level of copyright infringement.”
