Lawsuit with Kraftwerk
Pelham used for his 1997 song "Nur mir" a two-second sample of Kraftwerk's "Metall auf Metall" from 1977. As a result, Kraftwerk sued Pelham for copyright infringement. The case continued for over 20 years, with Pelham ultimately losing in 2020.[1] However, as copyright law changed shortly afterwards, the ruling doesn't apply to the current law, and the lawsuits for the use of the sample after June 2021 continue.[2]
