Katy Perry Loses 'Dark Horse' Copyright Trial

etonline.com: Katy Perry could be looking at a hefty payout.

A jury in California has ruled in a unanimous decision that Katy Perry's 2013 hit single "Dark Horse" improperly copied another artist's song, ET has learned.

After a week-long trial, a federal jury of nine jurors deliberated and returned with a decision on Monday, agreeing with claims made by Christian rapper Marcus Gray that Perry's single borrowed liberally from his 2009 track, “Joyful Noise."

Gray -- who performs under the stage name Flame -- filed the suit, along with the track's two co-writers, over five years ago. The plaintiffs argued that the beat, instrumental line and several other acoustic elements of "Dark Horse" directly stole from "Joyful Noise."
