The suit, which was originally filed in June 2012, claims that not
only did the defendants sell the music for a profit, but that they also
claimed that Brown gave her consent. In the midst of the lawsuit,
apparently some drama took place between Brown and her attorneys,
because they have removed themselves from the case.
Brown is now
representing herself, along with co-complainant Sparkell Adams.
According to Business Insider, the claim against Apple, at least, may
not hold up in court because The Digital Millennium Copyright Act
provides protection for companies if they promptly take action to remove
material whose copyright is disputed. Once Apple got wind of the
lawsuit, the song was removed.
