Adele’s “Million Years Ago” faces ban in Brazil
Adele's "Million Years Ago" has been pulled from streaming platforms in Brazil after a court ruled in favor of songwriter Toninho Geraes, who accused the track of plagiarizing Martinho da Vila's samba classic "Mulheres." A Rio de Janeiro judge ordered Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music to remove the song and imposed an $8,000 fine per instance of non-compliance. Geraes' lawyer believes the decision will deter future unauthorized use of Brazilian music.
