South Korea’s Supreme Court ruled today that the globally popular children’s song ‘Baby Shark’ was not plagiarised, ending a six-year legal battle over an American composer’s copyright claim.
US composer Jonathan Wright accused South Korean kids content company Pinkfong of copying elements from his own earlier version of the tune. He filed a lawsuit in Seoul in 2019 and sought 30 million won (approx. €18,500) in compensation.
