A lawsuit filed against Mariah Carey in June, alleging that her juggernaut 1994 Christmas single All I Want for Christmas Is You infringed on the copyright of Mississippi songwriter Andy Stone, has been dropped, Rolling Stone reports.
In his initial filing, Stone alleged that Carey and Walter Afanasieff, her co-writer on the track, had “knowingly, wilfully, and intentionally” infringed upon the copyright of his 1989 song All I Want for Christmas Is You, which he had recorded under the name Vince Vance and the Valiants.
