Stemming from a 2005 case where a relatively unknown songwriter filed a lawsuit against Beyonce Knowles for copyright infringement, a new court decision has turned favorably for the ex-Destiny's Child. Beyonce has won the case and, at the same time, the dignity of 'Baby Boy'.
Jennifer Armour claimed the Grammy-winning single used her material, titled 'Bad Boy', that was sent to several recording studios including Beyonce's label, Columbia Records. Evidence and comparison of the two songs have led to no case that can show their similarities.
Beyonce had been declared a winner in the case back in October 2007 and the appeal by Armour is now dismissed by the Fifth Court of Appeals in the U.S. The lawsuit was also directed towards Beyonce's co-writers on 'Baby Boy' such as Jay-Z, Scott Storch and Sean Paul.
In response to this court decision, Beyonce said, "It's unfortunate that we had to endure this long legal process but I am hopeful this decision will allow all of us that were involved to finally move on."
