Lohan v. Perez
United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York
924 F. Supp. 2d 447 (2013)
- Written by Sharon Feldman, JD
Facts
Armando Perez (a.k.a. Pitbull) (defendant) used the name Lindsay Lohan (plaintiff) in his song “Give Me Everything.” The lyrics about one-third of the way through the song read: “So, I’m tip-toein’, to keep flowin’/I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan.” Lohan sued Pitbull and others (collectively, Pitbull) (defendants) for, among other things, violating §§ 50 and 51 of the New York Civil Rights Law by using Lohan’s name for advertising and trade purposes and commercial benefits without Lohan’s consent.
