Back in May rapper T.I. and his wife, Xscape singer Tiny Harris, lost their copyright infringement lawsuit against MGA Entertainment after accusing them of copying their OMG Girls rap group for their L.O.L Surprise Dolls [click here if you missed that].
Now T.I. and Tiny have been granted new trial...
From Bloomberg Law
Former teen pop group OMG Girlz and rapper T.I. will get a third federal jury trial over whether toy maker MGA Entertainment Inc. ripped off the group’s names and likeness with its line of L.O.L Suprise! OMG Dolls.
US District Judge James Selna on Sept. 15 granted OMG Girlz LLC’s motion for a new trial, finding that he improperly instructed the jury to consider a free speech-trademark balancing test known as Rogers, which has since been altered by the US Supreme Court.
MGA had succeeded in convincing a Los Angeles jury in the Central District of California in May that it’s doll line didn’t rip off the the names, likeness, or trade dress of the OMG Girlz, the pop trio led by Tameka “Tiny” Harris who performed from 2009 to 2015.
Selna denied MGA’s motion for attorneys’ fees in the Sept. 15 order.

Although I don't care for this "couple" I hope they win, they were indeed ripped off.
Wasting good money unless you win large amount of cash with an excellent lawyer.
They were totally ripped off. There was a picture from 10 years ago of the group members wearing the exact same outfit down to the hairstyle as the dolls.
They wont win but its folks like yall that keep gassing them up!
When they lose again I hope yall donate to the Gofundme they'll have to pay them costly attorney fees.
