BTS 'Swim' copyright lawsuit dropped by US songwriters
The US copyright lawsuit against BTS over their song 'Swim' has been dropped. On November 4, the three American songwriters who had claimed the track plagiarized their demo—Steve Cooper, John Sandler, and Graylin Johnson—filed documents requesting a full withdrawal of the suit, according to Billboard and other US media reports. Yonhap reports the case, filed in July, was withdrawn four months later, ending the legal dispute in the US. The Korea Times notes the songwriters' attorneys withdrew their claims, while Kyunghyang Shinmun adds that the plaintiffs' lawyers asked the court to dismiss the case entirely. This follows a separate copyright lawsuit win for BTS, clearing legal risks tied to their fifth album, as reported by Japanese outlet Corepo.
