Adele’s song has been ordered to be removed from all radio and streaming services after a judge from Brazil ruled it plagiarized another artist’s work
According to The Times, singer-songwriter Toninho Geraes, 62, claimed the vocalist’s 2015 song “Million Years Ago” copied his 1996 classic “Mulheres,” sung by Brazilian singer Martinho da Vila.
A Brazilian court then ordered the Adele song removed from radio, television and all streaming platforms globally.
According to the outlet, Judge Victor Torres made a preliminary injunction in Rio de Janeiro that orders Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music to stop “immediately and globally, from using, reproducing, editing, distributing or commercializing the song Million Years Ago by any modality, means, physical or digital support, streaming or sharing platform.”
