Lawsuit

Wisin y Yandel are experiencing a little bump in the road as they continue on their tour through South America. The duo is facing a law suit, along side of many other reggaeton artists, as well. Nando Boom, who is owner of a reggaeton record, filed the lawsuit against the duo in April of 2008. The records label owner claimed that Wisin, Yandel, and Don Omar, used part of his song, "Enfermo de Amor" in their track "MySpace" with out authorization. Don Omar is part of the lawsuit because he is featured in this track and also did not get authorization to take part in the song. Court recently began in session, and the situation is trying to be handled in a very mature manner. Since everyone on the case are very busy people, the case has been moving slowly but will eventually be resolved. Wisin y Yandel claim that they did not use part of the singer's with out authorization, but Nando Boom feels a little bit different. The case argues that the melody is the same and the words are the exact of what is now in Wisin and Yandel's hit, "MySpace." Nando Boom recently has a lawsuit filed against another reggaeton artist, Daddy Yankee, but he decided to drop he case when the two artists came to an agreement. Daddy Yankee and Nando Boom are still friends, but the same can not be said for him and Wisin y Yandel. Stay posted for updates.
