RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — A Brazilian judge has ordered a song by British pop superstar Adele, “Million Years Ago,” be pulled worldwide – including on streaming services – over an ongoing plagiarism claim by a Brazilian composer.
The injunction threatens the Brazilian subsidiaries of Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music, Adele’s labels, with a fine of $8,000 “per act of non-compliance.”

Unemployment among young people and college graduates jumped from 13.2% in June to 17.1% in July, as some 12 million students entered the labour market, before the August figure rose to its highest level since the National Bureau of Statistics decided to change the methodology to not include students in December 2023.
His preliminary injunction, obtained Monday by Agence France-Presse, orders Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music to stop “immediately and globally, from using, reproducing, editing, distributing or commercializing the song ‘Million Years Ago,’ by any modality, means, physical or digital support, streaming or sharing platform.”

His client Geraes claims Adele’s 2015 song plagiarized the music of his samba classic “Mulheres” (“Women”), recorded by famous Brazilian singer Martinho da Vila on a 1995 hit album.

Sony Music Entertainment Brazil said it did “not have a statement at this time,” while Universal Music Brazil did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trotta said the injunction should have a chilling effect on foreign singers and labels looking to rip off Brazilian tunes.
“International producers and artists who… have Brazilian music ‘on their radar’ for possible parasitic use will think twice, given this decision,” the lawyer said.
Adele was also accused by Turkish music fans of plagiarism in “Million years Ago” back in 2015. They claimed its tune was similar to one in a 1985 song by a Kurdish singer, Ahmet Kaya, called “Acılara Tutunmak” (“Clinging to Pain”).
Kaya died in exile in France in 2000, and his widow said it was unlikely a global star like Adele would do such a thing.
