UK singer-songwriter Jessica Cornish aka Jessie J has
been hit with a copyright infringement lawsuit over her hit song ‘Domino’
The lawsuit was filed in a federal court in California by Will
Loomis, the frontman for the band Loomis & the Lust. Loomis
is accusing JJ of ripping off their song ‘Bright Red Chords’ for her
‘Domino’.
Loomis’ camp alleges the song produced by 24-year-old Jessie
J and a team of songwriters in August 2011 contained ‘substantially similar
compositional elements’ from their single, causing ‘irreparable
injury.’
‘Domino’ is on Jessie J’s new album ‘Who You Are‘.
Loomis & the Lust had already registered their own
version with the U.S. Copyright office on October 10, 2008.
‘The arrangements are virtually identical’, said
Loomis’ lawyer, Chris Arledge, who’s seeking $150,000 in statutory
damages on behalf of his client.
Jesse J’s camp is yet to respond to the allegation.
