50 Cent Sued For Copyright Infringement
50 Cent has been named in a copyright infringement lawsuit over his 2007 song I Get Money. An aspiring rap artist from Atlanta, Ga., Tyrone “Caliber” Simmons, filed suit in New York seeking damages for copyright infringement and other claims. Caliber claims he purchased an exclusive license for all of the rights to I Get Money instrumental beat, from its producer William Stanberry, and that Stanberry and others, including Fiddy, knowingly infringed upon his rights.
