Britney Spears Controversy
In 2011, Britney Spears' song "Hold It Against Me" was criticized by the Bellamy Brothers, who claimed that the song sounded similar to "If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me". Dr. Luke, Max Martin, Bonnie McKee, and Mathieu "Billboard" Jomphe, all of whom wrote "Hold It Against Me", sued the Bellamy Brothers for defamation and libel because of this, but the Brothers apologized and the case was dismissed.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
