Swift vs Poet: Judge Dismisses Copyright Claim | Canada News
Description
Taylor Swift narrowly avoids a copyright lawsuit after a poet claims her lyrics stole from her work — but a judge slammed the claim, calling it absurd and legally baseless. The court ruled that universal themes, common phrases, and everyday metaphors aren’t copyrightable, tossing the case. This isn’t the first time the poet has tried — and this was her final shot. Swift’s team called the lawsuit a waste of time, while the poet plans to appeal. Meanwhile, Swift’s also facing a separate trademark battle over album marketing — and her lawyers are moving to dismiss that too.
