A judge issues a new ruling in a major reggaeton copyright lawsuit that had accused hundreds of songs of infringement, including tracks attributed to artists such as Bad Bunny, Karol G, Drake, Pitbull, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber. The revised decision reverses the judge’s earlier approach and cuts out a large portion of the case, leaving only parts of the dispute to proceed.
According to outlets, the judge says he identifies a significant flaw in the lawsuit’s earlier treatment of the claims. Rolling Stone reports that the new ruling ends much of the case tied to roughly 1,800 songs, narrowing the scope after the court reconsidered its prior course. Billboard describes the decision as a key victory for Bad Bunny, framed around the judge’s move to correct the legal problem discovered in the earlier decision.
