一位联邦法官驳回了Drake对世界音乐集团的诽谤诉讼, 裁定Kendrick Lamar 2023年的歌词「不像我们」不符合《宪法第一修正案》, A federal judge has dismissed Drake’s defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group, ruling that lyrics from Kendrick Lamar’s 2023 diss track “Not Like Us” are protected under the First Amendment as artistic expression. Jeannette A. Vargas法官说,这首歌的指控 — — 例如恋童癖指控和要求私刑正义 — — 是公共饶舌斗的一部分,而不是可证实的事实主张,有合理的听众认为它们是意见和夸大其词。 Judge Jeannette A. Vargas stated the song’s allegations—such as accusations of paedophilia and calls for vigilante justice—were part of a public rap feud and not provable factual claims, with a reasonable listener understanding them as opinion and exaggeration. 这场诉讼声称赛道损害了Drake的声誉,导致他在多伦多的家中发生暴力事件,并损害了他的品牌,但并没有直接命名Lamar。 The lawsuit, which claimed the track damaged Drake’s reputation, led to violence at his Toronto home, and harmed his brand, did not name Lamar directly. Universal Music Group欢迎这起解雇事件, 将此案称为对艺术自由的攻击, 并重申支持Drake的音乐。 Universal Music Group welcomed the dismissal, calling the case an attack on artistic freedom and reaffirming its support for Drake’s music.
