US Court Dismisses One Copyright Lawsuit Against BTS, Another Case Continues
A US federal court dismissed Melissa Mays' copyright lawsuit against BTS and their agency, Big Hit Music, ruling she failed to provide evidence that the group's music used her unreleased songs. The dismissal applies to the case in the Eastern District of Virginia. However, BTS faces a separate ongoing copyright lawsuit in California over their song "SWIM," with the defendants denying the allegations. The court's ruling ends one legal dispute but not all pending cases involving BTS.
