Justin Timberlake and Will.I.Am have been accused of copyright infringement in a new lawsuit filed Wednesday at the U.S. District Court of New York.
New York music publishing company PK Music Performance claims that the duo’s 2006 song “Damn Girl” (which was featured on Timberlake’s album, “Futurezex/Lovesounds”) wrongly copies Perry Kibble’s “A New Day Is Here At Last.”
“A substantial amount of the music in ‘Damn Girl’ is copied from ‘A New Day Is Here At Last,” legal documents obtained by TheWrap state. “Specifically, a substantial part of the drum, conga drum, organ, bass guitar, electric quitter and saxophone parts in “Damn Girl,” were all copied from ‘A New Day Is Here At Last.’”
