Reply to comment by DraxtortheLock in Rick Astley sues Yung Gravy over alleged Never Gonna Give You Up imitation by redlightist

Unbelievably weird for you to not quote the very next line too.

>However, Astley's lawyers said: "A license to use the original underlying musical composition does not authorise the stealing of the artist's voice in the original recording."

I was adding context that "using the whole song" like the person I responded to is irrelevant. The entire point of the lawsuit is the vocals, not the use of the song.
Edit: Also disproving the claim he did it without permission
