I Wanna Talk About Those Bathing Suits...

Soooooo, children. Looks as if little miss shoplifter's luck ran out in Germany. A German judge ruled that the design of one of her bathing suits was jacked like Jay-Z's drivers license photo. It's obvious bitch was once again "inspired by" someone elses hard work, and as a result, a judge ruled the "Video Phone" video be BANNED from further airing in Germany. HAAAA!!!

In what has to be one of the more bizarre copyright disputes, the underwear manufacturer Triumph sued Sony because Beyoncé was wearing copyright infringing underwear in her music video “Video Phone”. Seriously.

The design in question by Bulgarian designer Iskren Lozanov is shown on the right, the music video below (the infringement occurs at about 0.50′). This week, the 7th Civil Chamber of the Landgericht Munich upheld an ex parte injunction barring Sony from distributing the “Video Phone” clip in Germany.

Triumph argued Beyoncé was wearing an unauthorized reproduction of the Iskren Lozanov design. Sony countered that both designs were inspired by Picasso, but otherwise, there were few similarities. The slips, in particular, were wholly different. The judge disagreed: the Lozanov design was highly original and enjoyed a wide scope of protection, and was therefore infringed by the underwear worn by Beyoncé.

Sony’s lawyer announced that, after consultation with Beyoncé, he would most likely appeal the decision.

Hold, the line, I have a call coming in...

Hello Caller, you say what??
