Mariah Carey Triumphs in Copyright Case Over 'All I Want for Christmas Is You'

Mariah Carey won a copyright lawsuit over All I Want for Christmas Is You.

A judge ruled that the 1989 country song by Vince Vance and the Valiants was not similar enough to Carey's 1994 hit to support infringement claims.

Songwriters Andy Stone and Troy Powers had sought $20 million, but the court dismissed their case, citing significant differences in melody, lyrics, and musical elements.

Carey argued that any similarities were common holiday themes.

The judge also ordered the plaintiffs to cover part of Carey’s legal fees due to irrelevant claims in their filings.

🎯 US Supreme Court Asks Justice Department's Views on Cox Communications Case

The U.S. Supreme Court has requested input from the Justice Department on whether it should review a copyright case involving Cox Communications and a group of music labels. The case follows a lower court decision that overturned a $1 billion jury verdict against Cox, which had been accused of enabling its customers to pirate music.

The Supreme Court is evaluating appeals from both parties regarding different aspects of the lower court's ruling. The music labels, which include Sony Music, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group, are challenging a decision that requires a new trial to reassess the damages Cox must pay. Meanwhile, Cox is contesting the court's ruling that holds it liable for copyright violations committed by users of its internet services.

Over 50 music labels collectively sued Cox in 2018, seeking to reinstate the $1 billion judgment. They accused Cox of neglecting to act on numerous copyright infringement notices, failing to cut off repeat offenders, and not taking adequate steps to curb music piracy facilitated through peer-to-peer platforms like BitTorrent.

Similar lawsuits have been filed by major labels against other internet service providers, including Charter Communications, Frontier Communications, and Astound Broadband. In 2019, a federal jury in Alexandria, Virginia, determined that Cox was responsible for $1 billion in damages for the infringement of over 10,000 music copyrights. However, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond reversed part of this ruling in February and ordered a new trial to reassess the damages.
