Lawsuit: Mary J. Blige stole tunes, including iPod ad
07:40 AM CDT on Friday, August 8, 2008
NEW YORK (AP) -- Mary J. Blige has been sued in New York for $2 million by a company that says she stole some of the music she used on her latest hit album, including one used on an iPod commercial.
The Drama Family Entertainment company filed the lawsuit in federal court in Manhattan on Tuesday.
The lawsuit claims the company suffered copyright infringement because the singer's "Growing Pains" album contains the song "Work That." The suit says the song was created by a producer who worked for the company at the time.
The song was featured with a silhouetted Blige in an iPod commercial. Apple Inc. isn't named in the lawsuit.
A message left with a lawyer for the Grammy-winning singer Thursday hasn't been returned.
