Paris’s High Court has rejected the ensemble of claims of plagiarism and infringement of image rights that the French “carnal artist” Orlan brought against the American pop star Lady Gaga in June 2013 over the cover art for the musician’s 2011 album Born This Way and the music video for its eponymous single, our sister paper Le Journal des Arts reports.
Orlan was seeking $31.7m, 7.5% of the royalties from the album, which sold eight million copies worldwide.
