Welcome

our

Trivia
Question
of
the
Day!


Which
song
off
of
Adele’s

25

album
did
Brazilian
judge
Victor
Torres
recently
find
plagiarized
Toninho
Geraes’s
“Mulheres”
(Women)?
The
judge
ordered
Sony
and
Universal
to
stop
“immediately
and
globally,
from
using,
reproducing,
editing,
distributing
or
commercializing
the
song[
],
by
any
modality,
means,
physical
or
digital
support,
streaming
or
sharing
platform.”


Hint:
Universal
Music
is
appealing
the
order,
saying
both
songs
use
a
musical
cliché
and
pointing
to
works
that
predate
Geraes’s
with
a
similar
melody.
