Firm Secures Affirmance of Dismissal and Fee Award in “This is America” Copyright Action Against Childish Gambino

Donald Glover (p/k/a Childish Gambino) and other “major” record and publishing companies were sued for copyright infringement in the Southern District of New York concerning Mr. Glover’s composition “This Is America,” which won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 2019. The firm obtained dismissal of the entire action against all of its clients, in addition to an award of nearly $300,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs. Both rulings were affirmed on appeal.
