But now the estate of another Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Famer has gone a step further and sued West for using a song without permission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \">The estate of the late <strong>Donna Summer<\/strong> has sued both West and his collaborator, rapper <strong>Ty Dolla $ign<\/strong>, for copyright infringement for interpolating her iconic song &#8220;I Feel Love&#8221; on their song &#8220;Good (Don&#8217;t Die).&#8221; The suit, obtained by ABC Audio, claims that the two rappers initially asked for permission to use the song, but were denied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \">On the song, a female voice sings different lyrics to the melody of &#8220;I Feel Love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \">After the album on which the song appears was released earlier this month, Summer&#8217;s widower, <strong>Bruce Sudano<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BruceSudano\/status\/1756383797728133317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>announced<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on social media\u00a0that West had been denied permission to use the song. The song is currently unavailable to stream on Spotify. Sudano is the main plaintiff in the suit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \">The suit claims that the reason permission wasn&#8217;t granted was because of West&#8217;s &#8220;controversial history&#8221; and seeks $150,000 for each act of infringement, plus legal fees and the &#8220;impoundment&#8221; of &#8220;all copies&#8221; of the song and &#8220;all masters, tapes, film negatives, or other articles by means of which such copies may be reproduced.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \">The case states that the suit has been brought in order to protect &#8220;Summer\u2019s own musical legacy and one of popular music\u2019s most influential and ground-breaking songs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
