A Brazilian judge has issued an injunction ordering Adele’s 2015 song Million Years Ago to be removed globally over plagiarism allegations by Brazilian composer Toninho Geraes. The ruling requires Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music to halt the song’s use and distribution worldwide, with non-compliance fines set at $8,000 per violation. Geraes claims the track plagiarized his 1995 samba hit Mulheres, seeking royalties, $160,000 in damages, and songwriting credit. The case marks a significant moment for Brazilian music’s copyright protection. Adele previously faced similar allegations regarding the song’s tune from Turkish music fans in 2015. Appeals remain possible.
