Kimberly Adams and Alex Schroeder, Marketplace; Can anyone really own the beat behind reggaeton
"A copyright lawsuit in the music industry that has targeted Bad Bunny, Karol G, Daddy Yankee, and hundreds of other artists hit a wall in early September.
A federal judge in California threw out one of the case’s central claims — that the syncopated rhythm at the heart of reggaeton music is protected by copyright.
You might know this beat as “dembow.” But even if you don’t — you’ve probably heard it.
For more on the details of the case, “Marketplace Morning Report” host Kimberly Adams spoke with Jennifer Jenkins, a professor at the Duke University School of Law and author of the book "Music Copyright, Creativity, and Culture."
