Part 6/9:
Lana Del Rey addressed the lawsuit via social media, clarifying that she "wasn't inspired by Creep" but acknowledged the song's similarities. She revealed she had offered Radiohead up to 40% of the publishing rights but faced stiff demands for 100%, leading her to move toward legal proceedings. Her tone suggests frustration over the legal process and the difficulty of copyright disputes over musical influence.
Meanwhile, other artists and commentators have expressed skepticism about Radiohead's motives. Boy George, for instance, pointed out the irony that Radiohead, who themselves were sued early in their career, are now pursuing Lana Del Rey. Critics argue that Radiohead’s aggressive legal stance may be driven by greed rather than genuine concern for artistic originality.
