Lawsuit with Kraftwerk

\n\n

Pelham used for his 1997 song \"Nur mir\" a two-second sample of Kraftwerk's \"Metall auf Metall\" from 1977. As a result, Kraftwerk sued Pelham for copyright infringement. The case continued for over 20 years, with Pelham ultimately losing in 2020. However, as copyright law changed shortly afterwards, the ruling doesn't apply to the current law, and the lawsuits for the use of the sample after June 2021 continue.\n
