Brazilian High Court on Saturday ordered that British singer, Adele’s song be removed from radio and all streaming platforms globally over alleged copyright.
The presiding judge, Justice Vitctor Torres gave the judgment after a Brazil local composer, Toninho Geraes accused Adele of copying works from his 1995 album.
Geraes claimed that Adele’s 2015 song ‘Million Years Ago’, was copied from his 1996 classic, ‘Mulheres’, sung by Martinho da Vila, a Brazilian singer.

Also, the court also threatened Brazilian subsidiaries of Sony and Universal with $8,000 fine “per act of non compliance”.
