Brazilian judge orders global removal of Adele's "Million Years Ago" over plagiarism claim.

A Brazilian judge has ordered Adele's song "Million Years Ago" to be removed globally due to a plagiarism claim by Brazilian composer Toninho Geraes. Geraes alleges Adele's song plagiarized his 1995 samba "Mulheres." The injunction could fine Sony and Universal Music $8,000 for each act of non-compliance. Geraes is seeking royalties, damages, and songwriting credit. The music companies can appeal the decision.
