Daddy Yankee Sued For Copyright Infringement

    By Mike Winslow

    Reggaeton artist Daddy Yankee has been hit with a copyright infringement lawsuit over a song contained on his multiplatinum third album, 2004's Barrio Fino.

     

    In a lawsuit filed in United States District Court for the Central District of California, plaintiff Victor M. Lopez Jr. alleges that Daddy Yankee used a musical composition on the track "Salud Y Vida" and while Lopez has received credit for his contribution, he has yet to be compensated.

     

    "Daddy Yankee's representatives tried to negotiate a deal with Lopez to include the song on the Barrio Fino album, but when negotiations broke down, they simply used the composition without permission," alleges Peter Afrasiabi of the law firm Turner, Green, Afrasiabi & Arledge.

     

    Lopez is seeking an undisclosed amount from Universal Music Latino, Interscope Records and Daddy Yankee's record label, El Cartel.

    Reggaeton been out since the early 90's. Just cause it got big in the states in the last couple of years don't mean its coppied.

    so my question is how ya quick to side with somebody if you don't know all the info...

    for the record the genre of the reggaeton is Latin Hip Hop

    I can name plenty of heads who have articles written about them or interviewed that an't hip hop.

    Mr Pain, without the use of samples, lots of older 70's, 80's musicians would be broke today.  Hip Hop has helped a lot of people who's music career was over.  Some make more money now off there samples than they did when they recorded the music.  

    Once again no-one realizes the real impact of what Hip Hop has done for so many people.

    Reggaeton is basically a latin form of hip hop, and I guess all these Eddie Murphy and Barry Bonds mentions need to be called out as well. I see where ya'll are comin from but Allhiphop.com is more like Hip Hop culture. It seems to be things that people who are interested in hip hop might wanna hear about. And everyone is sure droppin comments for it to be "not hip hop". Its alwaysshit on here that ain't hip hop, shit it ain't even about music period alot of the time, but it still has to do with our culture. I'd rather hear about Daddy Yankee then some of the bubble gum three word hook rappers that get discussed on here alot of the time.

    I respect what a lot of you are saying. Im hispanic and i follow your culture very well and respect it to the fullest, but having daddy yankee on here is nothing some of the people on here want to know about. this is hip hop, not latin hip hop. reggaeton is a brush off of reggae and hip hop - that would mean they are bitters of music. its not like a hip hop artist is going top take up country and alternative then name it calternative. either your with us or your not. how is raggaeton hip hop? it dont relate to the things that happen in the hood. even though im hispanic, i've been in the hood. why no put daddy yankee and other non hip hop into AllHipHop Alternatives? and what happened to rap music. not hip hop, rap music. thats the music that held it down and kept hip hop stable
