Mariah Carey faces renewed lawsuit over festive hit

Published

on

Mariah Carey, the iconic singer behind the beloved holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” finds herself embroiled in a renewed legal battle.

 
The festive anthem, a perennial favourite during the holiday season, is now at the centre of a copyright lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges that Carey, along with her co-writer Walter Afanasieff, unlawfully borrowed elements from a song titled “Christmas Is All Around,” written by songwriter Richard Young.

Young claims that the melodies and lyrics of Carey’s hit bear a striking resemblance to his original composition.

This isn’t the first time “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has faced legal scrutiny. In 2017, Carey was accused of copyright infringement, but the case was dismissed. However, this new lawsuit has breathed new life into the legal dispute.

Carey’s legal team has vehemently denied the allegations, citing the song’s widespread popularity and critical acclaim as evidence of its originality.

Australia shuts millions of teen social media accounts

Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.

Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.

Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.
