Judge Uses Taylor Swift Lyrics To Dismiss Suit Against Her

In my opinion, the coolest judge in the world comes from California. United States District Court Judge Gail Standish tossed a copyright lawsuit against Taylor Swift by using her own lyrics.

Recently Jessie Braham sued Swift, claiming her hit song "Shake It Off" ripped of his own lyrics. In Swift's 2014 song she belts, " Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play. And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate… And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake.” (Writing at it's best!)

Meanwhile Braham claimed back in 2013 he copyrighted his song "Haters Gone Hate." The song has the lyrics, “Haters gone hate, playas gone play. Watch out for them fakers, they’ll fake you everyday.”

I'll admit the lyrics are similar, but I'm sure Swift or Braham weren't the first people to combine haters hating, players playing, or fakers faking.

United States District Court Judge Gail Standish agreed. According to Time, the Judge channeled his inner T. Swift to toss out the suit. He said, “At present, the Court is not saying that Braham can never, ever, ever get his case back in court. But, for now, we have got problems, and the Court is not sure Braham can solve them.”

Well done Judge Standish. Well done!
