Taylor Swift's Lyric Trademark Receives Metal Parody
. (Radio.com) Taylor Swift's trademark application for the lyric "This Sick Beat" has come under fire by Ben Norton, a composer and free speech advocate known as Peculate. Last October Swift's attorneys filed trademark applications for lyrics found on her album 1989 such as 'Party Like it's 1989," 'Could Show You Incredible Things," 'Cause We Never Go Out of Style" and 'Nice to Meet You. Where You Been?" But the one that irked Norton enough to compose a full song was "This Sick Beat." So, in response Norton wrote and released a song under the same title. And what do you suppose the lyrics are to this new song? Yes, "This Sick Beat," over and over and over. But in all fairness, the song is wildly entertaining. And to accompany the music, Norton created a lyric video. Norton's notes explain his thoughts. In January 2015, Taylor Swift trademarked the phrase "This Sick Beat." Trademarks are a direct attack on one of the most fundamental and inalienable rights of all: our freedom of speech. Read more and listen to the track here.
