Breitbart:
A federal jury in Los Angeles found that pop star Katy Perry committed copyright infringement with her 2013 hit, “Dark Horse,” which was too close to a Christian rap song entitled, “Joyful Noise,” penned by artist Marcus Gray and his co-writers, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The case will proceed to the penalty phase to determine how much Perry must pay to settle the case. more
That’s likely the closest Katy Perry will come to Christianity.
???????
That’s not even music. It’s just noise. When did the USPTO say you can copyright noise?
The “c” in rap is silent.
Where is Lucifer when a gal needs him, right Katy?
Just watched a video where the two songs are overlaid, perfectly.

@Cynic
That’s about it. She was raised by Christian parents, but apparently decided that Christianity was an impediment to having a singing career.
I guess it is.
Her songs, if they can be called that, are not ear-friendly, as far as I am concerned.
Can’t help but wonder what Christian listened to her rap in order to suggest copyright infringement!?!
She shouldn’t have pissed off those nuns. This is poetic justice.
Perry is a preacher’s kid, and no surprise she’s a secular entertainer. PKs don’t have a great record of faithfulness to Christ.
Believe it or not music stars steal songs all the time. Rarely do they get caught. No sympathy for Perry. She made her choice – time to pay up.
Formerly married to Russell Brand – yech!
Had her dress with ballot filled out for Obama.
What an idiot.
Perrys’ net worth is $330 MILLION! Whatever the penalty is it will be like chump change.
It’s hard to imagine there are fans of either song.
My sister is a highly trained classical musician and she and her colleagues do not consider rap to be legitimate artistic music.
Ripping off the black man. Nice, perry.
‘Where is Lucifer when a gal needs him, right Katy?’
R. Kelly taking a well deserved time out now,,,
Wish Katy would do the same!
Wow, must be not comfortable for Orlando Bloom to wear a full body condom to be with her, after Russell Brand that is,,,
Dr. Tar, I tried, really tried, got 8 seconds in and had to bale.
Cunty Hairy.
GOD WINS THIS ONE
Satan-Worshipping scumbag copies Christian song, gets caught, has to pay.
Oh, the irony!
