Mariah Carey sued over 'All I Want for Christmas is You' song title:
✖ The calendar just turned to June, which means it should still be a couple of months until Mariah Carey's"All I Want for Christmas Is You" starts to hit the airwaves at virtually every radio station, television station, and shopping mall across the land. Since its release in 1994, the Christmastime tune has become a favorite amongst fans of the holiday. Now, Carey finds herself embroiled in a legal battle over the song's name.
According to the lawsuit, the warring names caused confusion between the songs, despite sharing no lyrics or melodies. Stone is seeking no less than $20 million in damages through the lawsuit. The BBC reports Carey was earned approximately $60 million in royalties since the song was first released. There are over 100 songs registered with the U.S. Copyright Office called"All I Want for Christmas is You," many of which were written before the plaintiff's song. #mariahcarey #titlesarentcopyrightable pic.twitter.com/LPYCQEGMF4
