Schitstainz 1,562 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 YouTube beauty sensation Michelle Phan, whose channel boasts more than 6.5 million subscribers, is being sued by Ultra Records and Ultra International Music Publishing for copyright infringement. The electronic dance music label, which represents some of the biggest DJs in the world including Steve Aoki, Benny Benassi, Calvin Harris, and David Guetta, is alleging that Phan used a host of its artist's songs in her videos without a license -- and is profiting from them. The complaint, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles, names Kaskade as an artist she frequently uses (her video " ," which offers tips about what to wear when you go out at night, uses his song "4AM" and has been viewed 1.4 million times). According to a report from Reuters, Ultra says Phan was made aware she'd need to obtain a license in order to continue implementing the songs into her videos, but that Phan never did. It's no secret that Phan makes serious cash from her vlog, with some magazines and news outlets reporting she made upwards of $5 million in 2013. Some of Phan's most popular videos, in which she teachers viewers how to look like and , have been viewed more than 50 million times. ====== She had it coming, but SMH at the company for trying to get every single penny she's ever made.

cake 113 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Not surprised they're asking for all of it. That's what always happens. They ask for all, other party doesn't want to pay all, agreement is reached. It's hard to feel sorry for someone like her, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfyeol 14,275 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 How much is she being sued for? And how come YouTube didn't suspend her account because of the copyright claims? cause popular youtubers bring in money for youtube as well and because they don't always suspend accounts for reasons like this anyways (they would usually take down the video/videos first I believe...not too sure though) also because I'm sure michelle phan also works with youtube as do most popular youtubers end up doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schitstainz 1,562 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Agree with ya... I hope they don't run her piggy bank dry. That's probably not possible since they can't sue her for everything she's ever made on her channel. At most, they can settle for everything she's made for the videos that used their songs. That's really about it. Plus, she has her own make-up brand, so even without those videos it won't make a dent in her piggy bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Was Pon This Wei 2,330 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 No pity to that girl. She's been such a hot mess ever since she signed with Lancome. I mean they don't need to dry her out but she's definitely been let off on things that've gotten others in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
