EXCERPT
The troubled actress sued Pitbull for mentioning her in his recent hit song. Lindsay claimed he had no right to use her name and wanted financial compensation, but a court has now ruled in Pitbull’s favor. A New York federal judge ruled on Thursday that the track, also featuring Ne-Yo and Afrojack, was protected by the US First Amendment, which covers freedom of speech and creative expression.
Pitbull’s lawyer, Marcos Jimenez, said: “This will further solidify the rights of artists to express themselves in song. He felt it was very important to address this head on to protect his right and the rights of other artist. He decided to fight this.”
