Kanye West has one less thing to worry about as Judge Virginia Kendall recently dismissed a copyright infringement case against the Chicagoan.
The lawsuit was filed by Vincent Peters, who also goes by the name Vince P, in 2010. In the suit, Peters stated that West took the song “Stronger” from him after he gave his copy to a Kanye West associate, John Monopoly, in 2006.
Peters claimed his track was then given to West and that he stole it to craft his hit single, which was released on Graduation in 2007. The suit stated that West’s track “copies significant and important parts of Peters’ lyrics identically or almost identically.”
The case was dismissed late last week when Judge Kendall said she believed the songs were not substantially similar enough.

What a dumb case. The beat was heavily sampled from Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” and the lyrics were written by Kanye West. Kanye has a bad habit of sampling alot of beats but he definitely writes his own lyrics and takes nothing from other people (again, when it comes to the lyrics).
bad habit of sampling? do you know the history of hip hop? wow
yeah everybody know that bitting is a huge essential part of hiphop duh lol why u think lil wayne is as big as he is.. think anonymous! but i dont seriously think that kanye writes all his lyrics for some reason, although they are bad enough to where hed pretty much have to be.. am i right?
haha its 2011. youll be lucky if you find a cat that remembers what a dj is
