Justin Bieber and Danish singer MØ - is song that encourages social progress and perseverance during tumultuous times. CJ Stain's remix and song's message social compassion sparked an interest,
broader audience.
While the original clip quickly went viral, it faced a YouTube takedown from moderators who believed it infringed on the rights of Mad the record label that represents Major Lazer.
This led to a lawsuit in which Vie Vibe
Music Group, CJ Stain's record label, negotiated with Mad Decent to secure monetization rights to their respective artists' intellectual property. Part of this agreement involves a multi-party obligation to take legal recourse towards finding the individual who leaked the song out in the first place.
Vie Vibe
Music Group maintains that it did not infringe on the rights of the party that represents Major Lazer,
Justin Bieber or MØ. The label specifies that because the song was leaked, instead of being released publicly, it does not constitute a case of infringement - at least, not against the label. To this end, the label is asking the public for information related to who leaked the song and how it was obtained.
