9 Pop Stars Who Were Slapped With Music Lawsuits
Every once in a while, you hear a pop song so undeniably catchy that it makes you stop and wonder: "Where have I heard this before?"
Like any other industry, the music business is rife with lawsuits, particularly those surrounding copyright infringement—in which another artist, songwriter or producer claims that that big pop song on the radio was totally copped from one of their own songs.

Whether they've won their cases, settled out of court or had lawsuits dismissed altogether, these nine pop stars, below, were once embroiled in legal battles with other artists and music personnel.
