It’s getting to the point that if a headline comes out with Skrillex and Justin Bieber’s name in it, you can bet that one with the name deadmau5 will follow. The former two artists found themselves in something of a legal quandary when Casey Dienal A.K.A. White Hinterland accused them of copyright infringement, and even though Skrillex already addressed it, the progressive house icon couldn’t help but contribute to the dialogue.
Around the same time that Skrillex posted his video demonstrating how he used a pitched-up sample of the original acapella from the writing sessions for “Sorry” without any samples from White Hinterland’s “Ring The Bell,” deadmau5 fired off a volley of incendiary tweets.
how shocking. Hope she bleeds em good for it…. god i fucking hate ripoffs. https://t.co/RbWZUsRj8o

Over the weekend, news broke out that Skrillex and Justin Bieber were being sued for copyright infringement over their hit collaboration “Sorry.” The claimant, Casey Dienel of White Hinterland, alleged that “Sorry” sampled a vocal loop from her 2014 song “Ring The Bell” and that requests to have the sample licensed by Bieber’s team were ignored.
Following the media frenzy covering the lawsuit, Skrillex took to social media to defend himself, posting a brief video demonstrating that any coincidences between “Sorry” and “Ring The Bell” were just that. In the thirty second long video, he opens up the Ableton file for “Sorry” and proves that the sample used within was recorded by a separate vocalist. He then gives a brief tutorial on how the sample was re-pitched to arrive at the sound featured in the song itself.

Skrillex and Justin Bieber have been named as defendants in a new lawsuit claiming that their hit single “Sorry” off Bieber’s 2015 LP Purpose features a plagiarized sample. The lawsuit is being levelled against the popular musicians by indie vocalist White Hinterland, who alleges that “Sorry” features an unauthorized vocal sample from her 2014 song “Ring The Bell.”
Taking precedence from the lawsuit that surrounded Pharrel Williams and Robin Thicke’s 2014 smash hit “Blurred Lines,” Hinterland claims that the opening vocal loop in “Sorry” ripped off her own sample from “Ring The Bell,” while stating that attempts at contacting Bieber to resolve the issue were ignored.
While Skrillex and Bieber have received a lot of criticism for their work together, a brief listen through the two songs makes it clear that this lawsuit has little legal credence from a musicology standpoint. While the melodies featured in each sample are certainly similar,...

Justin Bieber and DJ/producer Skrillex have been accused of copyright infringement over the pop superstar's hit single Sorry.
Singer Casey Dienel, known professionally as White Hinterland, claims the Baby hitmaker's chart smash sounds eerily similar to her track Ring The Bell, which became an indie hit in 2014.
In legal papers filed against the 22-year-old, his song co-writers, and producer Skrillex, Dienel alleges they lifted an eight-second snippet of her vocals, and then looped it to feature throughout Sorry, according to TMZ.com.
She also claims the tune features synthesizers, samples, synth bass, drums, and percussion, which all closely resemble the sounds featured on Ring The Bell.
Dienel contacted Bieber's representatives in December (15) and threatened legal action if the star didn't remove the sample, but her demands were reportedly ignored and now she is seeking compensation.
Bieber's publicists have yet to respond to the accusations.
