DISCOLSURE & ALUNAGEORGE SUED FOR THEFT AND COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT


Last year, both AlunaGeorge and Discolsure rose to fame through their hit tracks including "Latch", "White Noise", "You and Me", and "Attracting Flies", however it looks like they had some help.

Katie Farrah Sopher claims that she wrote the lyrics for these tracks stating that her songbook was "stolen by a violent ex-boyfriend, Sean Sawyers, in 2009". She is suing Disclosure and AlunaGeorge for 200,000 pounds (~$303,700), NME reports,

 
Sopher's testimony states that her songbook was then passed on to the music industry without her consent. Sawyers denies these claims stating "I am denying the allegations...There is zero truth to the claims made against me. I never saw the book the claimant mentions... [so] I could not have committed the alleged damages, theft, 9and) copyright infringement."
