News: Kanye West Wins Copyright Suit #NewSkoolRhymes #TeamHigherUp

Kanye West has one less thing to worry about as Judge Virginia Kendall recently dismissed a copyright infringement case against the Chicagoan. The lawsuit was filed by Vincent Peters, who also goes by the name Vince P, in 2010. In the suit, Peters stated that West took the song "Stronger" from him after he gave his copy to a Kanye West associate, John Monopoly, in 2006. Peters claimed his track was then given to West and that he stole it to craft his hit single, which was released on Graduation in 2007. The suit stated that West's track “copies significant and important parts of Peters’ lyrics identically or almost identically." The case was dismissed late last week when Judge Kendall said she believed the songs were not substantially similar enough.
