Soner Sarıkabadayı acquitted of plagiarism charges
Singer Soner Sarıkabadayı, who was accused of plagiarizing the melody of a chorus in musician Serdar Kapan's song, has been acquitted by the court. Kapan had claimed that Sarıkabadayı used the same melody in his song 'Tarifi Zor'. Sarıkabadayı's lawyers argued that the compositions and structures of the songs were different and the similarity in melodies did not constitute a crime.
