A judge in Brazil has ordered Adele’s song Million Years Ago to be removed globally from streaming services due to a plagiarism claim by Brazilian composer, Toninho Geraes.
Geraes alleges that the song plagiarized the music of his 1995 song Mulheres (Women), which Brazilian artist Martinho da Vila sang on his album Tá Delícia, Tá Gostoso.
The composer is suing for lost royalties and seeking $160,000 in moral damages. He also wants songwriting credits for the samba track, which he believes the Hello singer copied.
