Default Rihanna sued over 'S&M' music video by German photographer

Quote:
Rihanna is being sued by a German photographer over her 'S&M' music video.

Philipp Paulus, who previously launched legal action in 2011, believes that portions of the video were copied from his fashion photo series 'Paperworld', reports the Daily Mail.


Filing for damages and an injunction, he claimed that Universal Music Group admitted some similarities between the two but the record label did not make a suitable offer to settle out of court.

'Paperworld' features a woman trapped by transparent plastic wrapping with black Xs taped across.

Paulus's lawyer Philip Jakober stated: "The ludicrous thing about this situation is that Universal Music has for some time been bringing about a wave of lawsuits against end users for copyright infringements.

"Yet as far as our case is concerned, the usage from the photo series 'Paperworld' by Philipp Paulus in the music video 'S&M' is a serious and worldwide infringement of copyright, which is the responsibility of Universal Music."

Rihanna's music video could be banned from being broadcast across the world, if Paulus's lawsuit is successful.

The music industry is so shady, just so much plagiarism and shady back door deals and nothing to do with talent or hard work

This photographer should be lucky that Rihanna took some inspiration from his flop photos
