The singer maintains that her hit single didn’t steal from Flame’s “Joyful Noise”

Brent N Clarke/Invision/AP/Shutterstock, Capitol Records and the singer’s “Dark Horse” collaborators have filed an appeal to the verdict that ruled against them in the plagiarism case bought by Marcus Gray, a.k.a. Flame. The July verdict found that Perry and her team had copied aspects of their 2013 hit from a 2008 Christian rap song and held them liable for $2.78 million in damages.

, and the defendants are asking for the courts to either overturn the original verdict or grant them a new trial. The appeal notes that “the legally unsupportable jury verdicts in this music copyright infringement case that are widely recognized within the music industry—and beyond—as a grave miscarriage of justice,” adding, “the erroneous verdicts in this case and the precedent established thereby present serious harm to music creators and to the music industry as a whole.
