Cher got sued, babe

A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit accusing music artist Cher of using a typeface created by a graphic designer for her 2013 album "Closer to the Truth" without his permission.
New York-based graphic designer Moshik Nadav had sued to hold Cher, her Warner Bros. Records Inc. label and other defendants liable for having "copied the artistic elements" of his "Paris Logo" typography for the album, whose estimated sales worldwide top 500,000, according to Reuters.
In an unexpected turn, a U.S. District Judge in Manhattan granted Mr. Nadav's request to dismiss the copyright infringement case without prejudice.
According to Reuters, Mr. Nadav sought the dismissal after the defendants on Monday said typefaces are not subject to copyright protection, and that there were "profound differences" between the logos in question.
