Rick Astley和Yung Gravy之间的战斗结束了。

On Tuesday, Sept. 26, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the "Never Gonna Give You Up" singer, 57, and the meme rapper, 27, settled the lawsuit filed by Astley in January against Gravy (born Matthew Hauri) and his collaborators for an undisclosed sum.
根据《人物》杂志获得的法庭文件，9月26日星期二，这位57岁的“Never Gonna Give You Up”歌手和这位27岁的表情包说唱歌手解决了Astley在1月份对Gravy（出生于Matthew Hauri）及其合作者提起的诉讼，诉讼金额未披露。

Gravy filed a notice of settlement, while Astley filed a notice of dismissal in his copyright infringement suit with an order to show cause hearing set for Nov. 8.
Gravy提交了和解通知，而Astley在其版权侵权诉讼中提交了驳回通知，并下令于11月8日举行诉讼理由听证会。

The lawsuit, which was originally filed in January in Los Angeles, claimed Gravy used "a deliberate and nearly indistinguishable imitation" of his voice in his song "Betty (Get Money)."
该诉讼最初于1月在洛杉矶提起，声称Gravy在他的歌曲《Betty（Get Money）》中使用了“故意且几乎无法区分的模仿”他的声音。

The new lawsuit was filed by Richard Busch, the music litigator who won the copyright case over "Blurred Lines."
这起新的诉讼是由音乐诉讼律师Richard Busch提起的，他在《模糊的线条》版权案中获胜。

"The public could not tell the difference. The imitation of Mr. Astley's voice was so successful the public believed it was actually Mr. Astley singing," the lawsuit read, which also claimed the singer's voice was used "In an effort to capitalize off of the immense popularity and goodwill of Mr. Astley."
诉讼中写道：“公众无法分辨两者之间的区别。模仿阿斯特利的声音非常成功，以至于公众相信这实际上是阿斯特利在唱歌。”诉讼还声称，使用这位歌手的声音“是为了利用阿斯特利的巨大人气和善意。”

Also included in the lawsuit was the voice impersonator, Nick Seeley (aka Popnick).
诉讼中还包括配音演员尼克·西利（又名波普尼克）。

"A license to use the original underlying musical composition does not authorize the stealing of the artist's voice in the original recording," Astley's lawyers wrote. "So, instead, they resorted to theft of Mr. Astley's voice without a license and without agreement."
Astley的律师写道：“使用原始音乐作品的许可证并不授权在原始录音中盗用艺术家的声音。”。“因此，他们在没有许可证和协议的情况下盗用了阿斯特利先生的声音。”

Astley has cited an August 2022 interview Gravy gave to Billboard where the rapper said, "My boy Nick, who does a lot of sample replays and recreating original samples, we basically remade the whole song. Had a different singer and instruments, but it was all really close because it makes it easier legally."
Astley引用了Gravy在2022年8月接受《公告牌》采访时的话，这位说唱歌手在采访中说：“我的儿子Nick，他做了很多样本回放和重现原始样本，我们基本上重新制作了整首歌。有一个不同的歌手和乐器，但这一切都很接近，因为这在法律上更容易。”

The filing also stated that Astley had wanted to use his voice to collaborate with another artist on a future project, but the release of the Gravy's track made it impossible.
该文件还表示，Astley曾想用自己的声音与另一位艺术家合作未来的项目，但Gravy的曲目的发布使其无法实现。

The suit also explained that Astley's distinctive voice is a resource that needs to be carefully managed, and he never granted permission to use or impersonate his voice.
诉讼还解释说，阿斯特利独特的声音是一种需要仔细管理的资源，他从未被允许使用或模仿自己的声音。

Astley's “Never Gonna Give You Up” topped the charts, while “Betty” (Get Money" reached gold status in the U.S.
Astley的《Never Gonna Give You Up》位居排行榜榜首，而《Betty》（Get Money）在美国获得了金牌。
