SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 1 – Ice Starr a/k/a Arni Larusson has sued Yung Bleu a/k/a Jeremy Biddle, for using 11 of his songs without authorization.   

     On July 1, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Jed S. Rakoff held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.  

  The complaint says Larusson put his music on Beatstars where it could be licensed - but they just took it, for example for the song Miss It.  

Judge Rakoff offered admonishment about how the suit was served, and set another proceeding for July 15.

The case is Larusson v. Biddle et al., 21-cv-4895 (Rakoff)
