This one is unique because Hauri (aka "Yung Gravy") is another music artist. The Midler case is actually mentioned in the court filings, too.
It's interesting to think about the blurry line between art and commercial products.
- bsagdiyev 2y agoHuh TIL, I like the song in question interestingly enough (Yung Gravy - Betty) but didn't know that the Rick Astley bit wasn't actually his voice.
- ryukoposting 2y agoI didn't either until I heard about the lawsuit!
