Will Bieber, Skrillex have to say Sorry?

- Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber and Skrillex have been sued for copyright infringeme­nt by singer-songwriter Casey Dienel for the multi-platinum song Sorry. Dienel, who performs as White Hinterland, filed suit against the two performers and their publishing companies, Universal Music and co-writers in federal court in Nashville, Tenn. The suit claims Sorry uses a vocal riff from her song Ring the Bell. Representa­tives for Bieber and Skrillex didn’t return requests for comment Friday. Dienel’s song was released on her album Baby in 2014 on the independen­t record label Dead Oceans. Dienel’s lawsuit said her attorney sent a letter to Bieber’s lawyer and manager explaining the infringeme­nt, but they didn’t respond.
